Reds Acquire Brandon Phillips
For PTBNL or cash, per Reds press notes. He'll wear #4 and join the team tomorrow. Matt Kata was DFA'd, a roster move for the 25 man will be announced tomorrow.

Re: Reds Acquire Brandon Phillips
He does have some upside. I believe his defense has always been pretty good, but his bat needs to come around, and quickly.

Re: Reds Acquire Brandon Phillips
Not a bad pickup for a PTBNL. Mr. Denorfia/Abad, I hope you enjoyed your time with the big squad.

Re: Reds Acquire Brandon Phillips
I absolutely hate this move. Phillips just flat out stinks. There's just no point.

Re: Reds Acquire Brandon Phillips
Not sure how he will get any playing time. A former top prospect, and it doesn't seem like we gave up much, so its a low risk trade and hopefully he pans out.

Re: Reds Acquire Brandon Phillips
Where is this being reported? I've checked Marc's blog, the Reds website, the Indians website, the Enquirer and Post and ESPN and CNN/SI and don't see anything on it.

Re: Reds Acquire Brandon Phillips
Yo. Kinda like this. He could be a guy who needs a change of scenery. He was awful d**n good at a young age in the minors -- then, the reputed "attitude issues." A new club can turn a guy around.
There was got to be a trade of a middle infielder coming before long. I'm still guessing Freel for pitching.
