Pre-season:
*I will be limiting myself to 2 trades per offseason, 1 free agent of 3+ stars, and 1 trade deadline day deal per season.
LF-Greg Vaughn to NYY for RF-Paul O'Neil
In a shocking move the Cincinnati Reds traded away recently aquired LF-Greg Vaughn before he even got a chance to suite up for the club. Cincinnati reached an agreement with the New York Yankees that brings RF-Paul O'Neil back to Cincinnati. Both players are int he final year of their contract.

SP-Steve Parris, CF-Jeffrey Hammonds, RF-Mark Sweeney, and C-Jason LaRue to TEX for SP-Aaron Sele.
Cincinnati traded away a lot of their strength (depth) but GM Mike Mantia felt the club needed an upgrade in the starting rotation. "This club will only go as far as it's starting pitching will take it."

1.SS-Barry Larkin
