PIT/SEA (CIN) trade - APPROVED

[Pittsburgh Pirates]

PIT sends 
Hunter Renfroe - Rookie Contract
Carlos Asuaje - Rookie Contract

SEA (CIN)sends
Jay Bruce - 1 year @ 4.50

I accept this deal because Jay Bruce will be a nice addition for the playoff push, his 1B eligibility is a huge plus for me with Belt on the 7 day DL and I have no backup.  I like him being in CLE lineup and he has been having a nice year.  Its a steep price for a couple month rental, but with Renfroe not adding CF or LF this year I can afford to lose him, and I have Derek Fisher (LF,RF) in the minors and the rest of my OF is locked up for the foreseeable future.  Asuaje has been a pleasant surprise this year, but having Cesar Hernandez and Jason Kipnis, Ill be fine at 2B.  Thanks Dwayne, good luck reassembling your team for the future.

I made this trade to get younger, I won't have Bruce after this year and I get two players to help with the future.

[Cincinnati Reds]

I am still agreeing to this trade. I do like Bruce a whole lot, but getting young cheap contracts seems like the right way to go since I'm going to have to completely rebuild my team

Trade Passed, Please check for accuracy.

Games have already started today so I will have to swap players in the morning.
