Cincy... You're not gonna find two better teammates then the ones you just traded for. #choo #donald
I show career OBP of .338, and 2012 OBP of .318 with an OPS of .605. Since this is the last full season and he is 30, it carries some weight. The one year rental does not really bother me. I concede that he is an offensive upgrade, but I am uncomfortable with a "serviceable" replacement in CF. Hopefully, this is an indication that the Reds see Hamilton as close. If the Reds also get Sipp, it is a much better trade. A second LHP out of the pen is needed, especially if Chapman makes the transition successfully.
Reds traded Didi and moved Hamilton to CF, tells you how highly they think of Cozart.
Looks like the ARI-CLE part of the deal took an hour or so more to finalize:

8:12pm: The Diamondbacks announced that they have acquired shortstop Didi Gregorius, left-handed pitcher Tony Sipp, and first baseman Lars Anderson from the Indians in exchange for right-handed pitchers Trevor Bauer, Matt Albers and Bryan Shaw.

With each passing day, the holes on this team continue to disappear.

#Reds call Choo a center fielder in their announcement of the deal.
The Reds got an impact bat for Gregorius and a guy who was practically waiver fodder given his 2012 performance. I like it.
