The Kansas City Royals dealt right-handed starting pitcher Brady Singer to the Cincinnati Reds in exchange for second baseman Jonathan India and outfielder Joey Wiemer on Friday.
The Reds moved on from India, the 2021 National League Rookie of the Year, as they build their infield around star Elly De La Cruz. India has one year remaining on his current contract and is arbitration eligible in 2026.
India, 27, appeared in 151 games in 2024 and batted .248 with 15 home runs, 28 doubles and 58 RBIs. In 523 games over four years with the Reds, who drafted India fifth overall in 2018, he has batted .253 with 63 homers, 101 doubles, 229 RBIs and 42 steals.
Wiemer, 25, split the 2024 season between Milwaukee and Cincinnati and went 4-for-26 with two runs in 21 appearances.
Meanwhile, Singer joins Cincinnati after spending his first five major league seasons with Kansas City. He’s coming off a 9-13 season in which he pitched to a 3.71 ERA with a career-high 170 strikeouts in 32 starts.
The 28-year-old is 36-44 with a 4.28 ERA in 127 career games (124 starts) in his MLB career, with 645 strikeouts and 214 walks.
