Royals Reds
LHP Brandon Finnegan RHP Johnny Cueto
LHP John Lamb <---> Cash
LHP Cody Reed
The Royals officially announced the Johnny Cueto trade Sunday afternoon,
acquiring Cueto for three left-handed pitchers - Brandon Finnegan, John Lamb,
and Cody Reed. The Royals will also receive an undisclosed amount of cash in
the deal. Of the three, only Finnegan was listed as a top ten Royals prospect
by either Baseball America or John Sickels before the start of the season.
Brandon Finnegan was the Royals first-round pick in 2014 out of TCU. He
enjoyed a meteoric rise to the big leagues, posting a 1.33 ERA in 27 minor
league innings last season before being promoted to Kansas City in September.
Finnegan would give up just one run in seven big league innings in relief,
striking out ten, and was included in the Royals post-season roster. Finnegan
pitched well in the post-season until Game 5 of the World Series, where he
gave up five runs in an inning of work.
Finnegan was ranked as a Top 100 prospect in baseball by Baseball America
(#55), MLB.com (#75) and Baseball Prospectus (#87) before the season. John
Sickels ranked Finnegan as a "B+" prospect, tops in the Royals organization.
The Royals were rumored to be less than impressed with Finnegan's off-season
conditioning however, and he had an umimpressive spring training that got him
demoted to the minors. The twenty-two year old lefty struggled a bit in the
minors, but did post a 2.96 ERA in 24 relief innings with the Royals this
season, although his walk numbers were high.
John Lamb was a fifth-round draft pick out of high school by the Royals in
2008. The southpaw had an outstanding season in the low minors at the age of
19 in 2010, and was rated a top 20 prospect by both Baseball American and
Baseball Prospectus. Lamb's prospect status would take a hit that summer when
he tore his ulnar collateral ligament and underwent Tommy John surgery. Lamb
was not the same pitcher when he returned and had a dismal 2013 season. He
rebounded a bit in 2014, but began to really impress in 2015 when he posted a
2.67 ERA in 17 starts for AAA Omaha with over a strikeout per inning. The
25-year old was named a AAA All-Star and was briefly on the Royals roster for
a doubleheader back in early July, although he did not see Major League
action.
Cody Reed was a second-round pick by the Royals in 2013 out of Northwest
Mississippi Community College. Reed struggled in his first two seasons of
professional baseball but took a major step forward this year. The 22-year
old left-hander posted a 2.14 ERA in 67 1/3 innings for Wilmington before
being promoted to AA Northwest Arkansas, where he had a 3.45 ERA in five
starts.
醒來看到這包裹時，心裡罵了聲幹.....怎麼會有Reed
但實際想想這包裹，突然覺得也沒什麼..
與其讓Finny先發牛棚跑..不如就放他走
我好像有點自我感覺良好...但又覺得這是必要的
