Royals trade Brady Singer to Reds for Jonathan India

The hot stove is heating up — and two former high-level prospects have been traded for one another.

Jonathan India, the 2021 National League Rookie of the Year, is heading to the Royals in a trade with the Reds, who will be acquiring pitcher Brady Singer, the teams announced.

Outfielder Joey Wiemer is also heading to Kansas City in the deal.

India, who turns 28 next month, spent four seasons with the Reds and now has the chance to form a fearsome middle infield with AL MVP runner-up Bobby Witt Jr.
