Reds Send: 2B/OF Ben Zobrist $14,900,000 (2019)
Giants Send: OF Hunter Pence $15,500,000 (2018)
Reds accept.
This is purely a redistribution of salary, I pay a little extra this year to save a lot next year. Z isn't likely to retire at the end of this year because he'd be walking away from 12 mil, but I think Zobrist plays even less then he did last year as Happ and the Cubs talented OF begins to play more and more. In the end this opens up cap space for next year so I can pay for cap relief I received for DeGrom and Hendricks that will expire at the end of this season.
On paper he's probably more valuable then Pence, but I don't think the difference is that great that the extra year doesn't pay for it.
Thanks to the Giants for the trade.

Confirm. This is a pure baseball trade. I need infield help and he needs outfield help.
