Twins get starter Mahle from Reds
Published
The Cincinnati Reds are dealing right-hander Tyler Mahle to the Minnesota Twins in exchange for three prospects, according to ESPN's Jeff Passan.
The deal is expected to be completed upon medical review.
MLB.com's Mark Feinsand reports infielders Spencer Steer and Christian Encarnacion-Strand as well as left-hander Steve Hajjar will head back to Cincinnati.
Mahle, 27, was in his sixth season with the Reds and is 5-7 with a 4.40 ERA in 19 starts so far in 2022.
While his numbers don’t jump off the page, Mahle has been solid his last two seasons, combining for a 3.72 ERA and 1.21 WHIP in 43 appearances in 2020 and 2021.
Mahle is due $5.2 million this season and will have his third and final year of arbitration in 2023. He is then scheduled to become a free agent following that season.
A native of Newport Beach, Calif., Mahle made his big league debut back in August of 2017.
