The Reds traded veteran Gold Glove catcher Tucker Barnhart to the Tigers in exchange for infield prospect Nick Quintana.
Barnhart, a 31-year-old left-handed hitter and reliable backstop, leaves Cincinnati after eight years. In the last six seasons, he led the Reds in starts behind the plate and innings caught, winning NL Gold Gloves in 2017 and 2020.
The rise of Reds rookie Tyler Stephenson, who split time behind the plate last season, made the 30-year-old Barnhart — and his contract — expendable. Barnhart had a $7.5 million salary option for 2022. In exchange, the Reds get the 24-year-old Quintana, who was a second-round pick of the Tigers in the 2019 draft. In 2021, he hit .196 with nine homers for the Tigers' Low-A affiliate in Lakeland, Florida.
"But going into 2022, we must align our payroll to our resources and continue focusing on scouting and developing young talent from within our system," he said.
