Cincinnati Trades:
Alex Cobb, SP SFG - $9M in ‘23 & ‘$10M in ‘24 (Franchise Tag) Dylan Coleman, RP KC - $850,000 MiLB Contract Leury Garcia, MI/OF - $2.4M in ‘23 & ‘24
Mets Trade:
Whit Merrifield, MI/OF - $6.5M in ‘23 (club option) Hunter Dozier, CI/OF - $7.25M in ‘23, $9M in ‘24, $10M club option in ‘25
Reds give up the probably more value in Coleman and Cobb but needed to move off the franchise tag to switch it over to Margot this offseason. Doing so does wonders for our OF which will now have Merrifield, Margot, and Daza (much better than Robles & Bouchard). We lose some pitching but still feel comfortable in our ability to identify relievers and have targets for SP additions. Only losing $1.5M in cap space in the deal also is very helpful.
To Walt to confirm.

Confirmed.
Wanted to get a solid starter without killing my cap and being able to get Cobb in exchange for some non-core bats, made sense and getting Coleman was the cherry on top.
Dozier was solid for me but I’ll be missing Whit, as I gave up some talent to get him, and I’m not receiving nearly as much as I gave to get.
Good working with Adam on this and good luck to the Reds this season.
