Overview

  • The Cincinnati Reds acquired infielder/outfielder Connor Joe from the San Diego Padres in exchange for minor league pitcher Andrew Moore and cash considerations.
  • Connor Joe, 32, signed a one-year, $1 million contract with San Diego in February and has split time between Triple-A El Paso and the Padres' MLB roster this season.
  • Joe hit .267 with four RBIs in 16 Triple-A games but went 0-for-9 in seven appearances for the Padres in the majors this year.
  • Andrew Moore, a 24-year-old right-handed pitcher, has posted a 4.15 ERA with 12 strikeouts and eight walks over 8⅔ innings in Double-A Chattanooga this season.
  • To make room on their 40-man roster for Joe, the Reds placed Tyler Callihan on the 60-day injured list following surgery for a broken left forearm.
