Reds Send Adam Duvall to Braves

Well, here’s a quietly big-ish trade involving an NL Central team and an NL playoff contender:

Those are non-zero prospects, as I at least recognize their names. I can’t evaluate their quality right now, because my phone’s tethering is sucking hard, and it’s all I can do just to get this trade out there.

Duvall, 29, is in a big-time down year, though he’s still pre-arbitration, so there’s a lot of value in his contract status.
