Took me a little while to get this card, but was finally able to snag it for under $10. Really nice looking autograph from the 2019 Topps set.
Franmil Reyes came over to the Indians at the trade deadline. It was a massive trade. Per Baseball-Reference:
July 31, 2019: Traded as part of a 3-team trade by the San Diego Padres with Victor Nova (minors) and Logan Allen to the Cleveland Indians. The Cleveland Indians sent Trevor Bauer to the Cincinnati Reds. The Cincinnati Reds sent Taylor Trammell (minors) to the San Diego Padres. The Cincinnati Reds sent Scott Moss (minors) and Yasiel Puig to the Cleveland Indians.
While the season might not have worked out for the Indians, hopefully, this trade does. Reyes overall numbers this season were impressive: .248/.310/.506 with 36 HR. Good for an OPS+ of 110.
Can’t complain about the pop. But he did have 155 K’s to only 47 walks, so that is not great. But at 23 years old he still has time to work on being a little more selective at the plate. Assuming that he continues to develop there is a very real chance he becomes one of the better power hitters in the American League.
