JANKOWSKI JETTISONED TO THE REDS
The Cincinnati Reds acquired outfielder Travis Jankowski from the San Diego Padres for international bonus pool money in 2019-20.
What does it give the Cincinnati Reds
In Jankowski, the Reds acquire a solid left-handed bat and quality outfielder who can also run the bases with aplomb. He will likely come off the bench in Cincinnati and be used at all three outfield positions.
What does it give the San Diego Padres
Jankowski battled injury issues throughout his time in San Diego and did not see more than 347 at-bats during his five-year stint with the Padres. So, the team moved him for some international bonus pool money.
Fantasy impact
Jankowski could have some fantasy value if he wins a starting outfield job with the Reds, which at this point is not likely to happen. Therefore, he should not be drafted in most 2020 league formats. However, keep an eye on his progress throughout spring training.
