In the hours leading up to the Deadline, reports centered on the Reds also acquiring outfielder Brandon Nimmo in the deal. But an apparent medical holdup with another player proposed in the trade forced the teams to rework the deal. Jocketty said the player with the issue was not Nimmo.
"Herrera was the guy we wanted all along," Jocketty said. "We talked about both of them. We liked the potential for Herrera long term. We liked Nimmo too, but we've got some outfield depth and not as much middle-infield depth." DID YOU CATCH THIS ? Great move on Jockerty. He new there was a medical report on the third prospect, waited till Redick went to the Dodgers and at the last minute pulled the Bruce trade off the table knowing now the Mets really wanted Bruce. last 20 minutes they got what they wanted. Brewers wanted Herrera for Lecory and the Mets said no that he will be their future second baseman. GOOD JOB WALT!!!
