Johnny Cueto headed to Kansas City
The Reds and Royals have agreed on a deal that sends Johnny Cueto and cash considerations to Kansas City in exchange for Brandon Finnegan, John Lamb and Cody Reed, all lefty pitchers.
Cueto is 7-6 on the year with a 2.62 ERA and a fantastic 2.09 nERD which would rank first on the Royals' rotation ahead of his former teammate Edison Volquez who's nERD is at 1.87.
Finnegan (22) was the Royals first-round pick from just a year ago out of TCU and rose to the bigs last september after wielding a 1.33 ERA over 27 innings in the minors. Lamb (24) has bounced around in the minors after undergoing Tommy John surgery and Cody Reed (22) has a 3.45 ERA this season with AA Northwest Arkansas over five starts.
