A'S ACQUIRE OUTFIELD DEPTH

The Oakland Athletics acquired outfielder Chris Denorfia from the Cincinnati Reds for two players to be named later.

What does it give the Oakland Athletics
Injuries have torn through the Oakland outfield, but Denorfia won't do them much good now because he's set to miss most of the season due to elbow surgery. But, at 26, he still has some upside as a multi-tooled fourth outfielder.

What does it give the Cincinnati Reds
The Reds have more outfielders than they know what to do with, so Denorfia was completely expendable. They'll probably land some minor prospects in exchange, and that's just fine.
