Cincinnati Reds Make Trade, Send Catcher Austin Wynns to Athletics

The Reds traded catcher Austin Wynns to the Athletics in exchange for cash considerations on Sunday.

Wynns was designated for assignment on Friday to open up a roster spot for Christian Encarnacion-Strand.

Wynns, 34, hit .400 in 18 games with Cincinnati this year, but the Reds have been carrying three catchers and he hasn't seen much playing time lately.

Encarnacion-Strand gave the Reds a huge boost in each of the last two games and has Cincinnati in position to potentially sweep the Diamondbacks.
