Reds, Yankees Make a Couple Deals

In two separate deals, the New York Yankees and the Cincinnati Reds conducted deals to help their teams moving forward.

Reds fans scratched their heads as one of their only dependable hitters LF Harry Craft was sent to the Yankees in exchange for LF Eric Tipton. Craft was batting .306 with 10 HR & 49 RBI (.802 OPS) for the Reds, while Tipton was batting .270 with 2 HR & 24 RBI.

The other deal, the New York Yankees acquired both RP Jim Turner (1-2, 2 SV & 4.30 ERA in 14.1 IP) and CF Joe Abreu, who made his Major League debut for the Reds this season at age 29. Abreu was batting .196 with 2 HR & 10 RBI in 46 at-bats this season. The Reds acquired much-needed third base help in Frankie Kelleher. Since joining Reds, Kelleher is batting .267 with 2 HR, 9 RBI & 7 BB through 12 games (45 at-bats).
