Guess is Reds wanted to lose Stephenson - his arbitration salary that is. Probably the Reds’ main driver to make this trade. Avoid non-tendering him and get something back.
Not sure there’s much gain on the baseball side of the deal, although you never can tell with an 18-year old pitcher with a live arm.

I recall when the Rockies acquired Darryl Kile. He was a good pitcher the year before with Houston and a good pitcher with the Cardinals after he left Colorado. He was terrible in Colorado, however. IIRC, it was blamed on the thin air at altitude. His curve ball didn't have the same bite. Hoffman may have had a similar problem. Not only did he pitch at Coors, but he also spent his AAA seasons at mile high Albuquerque.

Case Williams is ranked #29 on the Reds MLB Pipeline rankings.
More upset to lose Hannah. Would have taken cold taco filling for Bob Steve.

With all due respect to what Cueto did in the minors.... he was no Tony Cingrani.
Cingrani had a 1.67 ERA in the minors with 340 strikeouts in 263.2 innings. Cueto never had a single stop along the minor league chain with an ERA under 2.59 (he was slightly younger than Cingrani at each level, though).
