The Mariners are also acquiring Eugenio Suarez in the deal with the Reds, per source.

[John_Havok]

The Mariners are finalizing agreement on a deal that would bring in star outfielder Jesse Winker from the Reds, reports Jeff Passan of ESPN (Twitter link). Seattle is also acquiring third baseman Eugenio Suárez, reports Mark Feinsand of MLB.com (on Twitter).

 

More to come.

[John_Havok]

Seattle is going to be dangerous this season. Making some pretty good moves.

The Reds are a pathetic organization and I hope their fans don't show up for this s***. In the last two offseasons they've traded Iglesias, Gray, Winker, and Suarez for almost nothing but salary relief.

Horrible org worthy of contraction.

[John_Havok]

the f*** kind of return is that for Winker and Suarez? THat's embarassing

f*** me - why aren't we taking advantage of this?

[glory]

What else could the Jays get if they took Moustakas?

[Brownie19]

So does this trade set the market for what type of return Ramirez might get? Friendlier contract compared to Olson but they are same years of control, similar caliber players with Ramirez having a longer track record. Maybe that makes the Jays equivalent Groshans, Pearson, Kirk and Hoglund? Doubt Indians would get Moreno or Orelvis.

 

I overly love prospects, but I'm not sure I do that for 2 years of Ramirez

At this rate, they could probably get India.

To be fair - this was exactly the type of deal we were discussing for the Jays - it would include one of their starters with either Suarez or Moose to cover 3rd base. We eat contract and give up a f*** ton less in the process. After getting Kikuchi, this Winker/Suarez deal would have been a near perfect fit for the Jays. Too bad!

Damn wtf. That would have been an excellent trade for us

[Brownie19]

what would the equivalent prospects have been for the Jays to get Winker/Suarez?

[John_Havok]

4:01pm: Ken Rosenthal of the Athletic reports (on Twitter) that the deal also contains a player to be named later. He adds that Cincinnati believes that still-unknown player “enhances” the quality of their return.

Incredible stuff here from Ken - I was convinced that adding another player in return would make Cinny's return even shittier...

[RustyTrombone]

I think the trade would be a bit easier to swallow since we would keep the two crown jewels of the system

[wilko]

So the Reds are just giving up?

Would have been done off season complete let's go

[Dr. Dinger]

Can we get Luis Castillo for like Adam Kloffenstein plz?

Translation: We'll mention this PTBNL now so it doesn't look AS bad for us, but then we'll hope everyone has forgotten by the time he's announced...

Thats what they have been signalling all off season. Talking about cutting payroll. Letting Miley walk, getting, mediocre returns for Gray and now packaging Winker with Suarezs contract.

[Terminator]

They traded a relatively cheap All-Star OFer in his prime to get out of Suarez' contract. It's pathetic.

Man, this is exciting! Listening to pods on these big deals and reports on spring training opening. Delirious heaven of Baseball palooza post lock out.

 

JD a Yank, Sanchez a Twin...barely time to absorb and Olson deal punts Freddy. Also. Reds suck!
