Reds Trades Thread: Post all Reds Trades Here...

The Reds got Cantu for Brian Shackleford, a bum reliever who spent time with the Reds last year until he was caught with an underage girl in Milwaukee, and reliever Calvin Medlock, who has been spliting time with Louisville and Chattanooga this year. The Reds also received outfielder Shaun Cumberland, who was hitting .246 with six home runs and 34 RBI for Double-A Montgomery.

Cantu had a breakout season in 2005, suffered injuries last season and didn't make the club out of spring training this year. Like I said earlier, he's only 25 and has already enjoyed a season where he hit 28 homeruns, drove in 117 with a .286 batting average in his first full season with the Rays. This year, he's hitting .207 with 4 RBI's.

These are the kinds of deals (see Josh Hamilton and Brandon Phillips) that Krivsky likes to make and by looking at previous success, you have to feel good about it. The Reds weren't losing anything with what they gave the Rays.

Thanks man! I do feel pretty good about that.
