Not really an overwhelming trade here. Kid has underperformed and has been criticized for being overweight, at least per Reds fans. Guess it is just in case Chipper is out longer than expected. Or the team feels he will miss more time later in the year. Who knows?

I mentioned it, in the Minor league thread. Adds depth at 3b, IF Prado were to get injured before Chipper returns.
