I personally love this move for the reds. We needed a good defensive catcher. Love Ty Steve but he is holding the staff back. More flexibility for him to move out from the dish and not have a major drop off behind the plate with Maile or random quad A catcher.
Heck Yes! Super Bowl here we come!
Are we ever going to get an outfielder
Not the splash I wanted but it’s an upgrade over Luke Maile for the backup Catcher spot. Wish we would bring in some proven bats with the young talent on the roster while we have it though
OK, I don’t have Yankees flair anymore, but I’m a Yankees fan first, and as such I’m not a big fan of this trade, although I like Cruz.
On the other hand I am also a Reds fan, and from that perspective I love Trevino on this squad. He is a no bullshit great catcher, and his bat is good enough.
This trade makes Stephenson the 2nd catcher on the team which limits his wear and tear over the season. If Stephenson can maintain his progress as a catcher from last season, between the two of them the Reds should have one of the best batteries in the league
Oh, that’s cool as fuck. Trevino can’t hit at all, but he was worth nearly 2 fWAR on defense alone in just 74 games last year. Perfect backup catcher pickup.
I think this is good for both side. I think Cruz does well with a friendly zone in NY.

Terrible trade
MLB Trade Values would reject that modeled trade as a major overpay by the #Reds
Jose Trevino value, per MLBTV: 5.2
Fernando Cruz value, per MLBTV: 15.6
Alex Jackson: 0.7
16.3 Total Value compared to 5.2, major overpay.

Now who will hear the drums?
