Padres trade: 2B Logan Forsythe $300,000 (2016)
Reds trade: 2B Brandon Phillips $8,000,000 (2016) [Re-sign] LHP Seth Varner
Padres accept. Forsythe is having a nice break out year and while I considered holding on to him to see if he keeps it up and possibly re-sign him after 2016, I also have an abundance of second basemen for the long-term making me feel comfortable with the idea of trading him. However, I do need a second baseman in the short-term, thus the acquisition of Phillips. Varner was included to offset the difference in contracts and upside between Forsythe and Phillips

Red accept.
This is an unfortunate roster construction trade that needed to be made. I lose slight production for this year and a far away prospect and I gain flexibility for this offseason by getting out from a resign contract - worth it considering I'd like to keep both Cueto and Chapman if possible.
