This Week in Reds History
February 2, 1999
The Reds make a bold move by trading outfielder Reggie Sanders, young infielder Damian Jackson and pitching prospect Josh Harris to the Padres for outfielders Greg Vaughn and Mark Sweeney. Vaughn would prove to be a pivotal member of the '99 Reds squad that won 96 games, powering the offense with 45 homers and 118 RBIs and giving the team a spark as the leader in the clubhouse.

Larkin Elected to Baseball Hall of Fame
January 9, 2012 — Former Reds great Barry Larkin was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame after he received 86 percent of the ballot. The Cincinnati native played for his hometown team for 19 seasons, compiling a lifetime average of .295 with 198 home runs, 960 RBIs, 2,340 hits, a .371 on-base percentage and 379 stolen bases.

Larkin also was a 12-time All-Star, a three-time Gold Glove winner and a nine-time Silver Slugger winner at shortstop, a member of the 1990 World Series championship team and the 1995 National League Most Valuable Player. In 1996, Larkin became the first shortstop in Major League history to be a 30-30 player when he had 33 homers and 36 steals during that season.

Larkin will join the late Cubs great Ron Santo as a 2012 Hall of Famer when the two are inducted into the Hall in Cooperstown on July 22. Santo, who died last year, was elected last month by the special Golden Era committee.

REDS TRADE FOR RELIEVER SEAN MARSHALL
December 23, 2011 — Cincinnati Reds President of Baseball Operations and General Manager Walt Jocketty today announced the acquisition of LHP Sean Marshall from the Chicago Cubs in exchange for LHP Travis Wood, OF Dave Sappelt and Minor League IF Ronald Torreyes.

Marshall, 29, last season for the Cubs posted a 2.78 ERA and 5 saves in 78 relief appearances, tied for fifth-most in the Major Leagues. He established a single-season franchise record with 34 holds while holding opponents scoreless in 65 of his 78 games.

"Sean has been one of the best and most durable relievers in baseball the last couple of seasons," Jocketty said. "He will be a solid addition to what we think already is a strong bullpen."

Reds trade for right-hander Mat Latos
December 17, 2011 – The Reds and Padres announced a five-player deal today, as Cincinnati acquired 24-year-old right-hander Mat Latos in exchange for right-hander Edinson Volquez and three prospects.

"Mat is a big, strong young pitcher with electric stuff," Walt Jocketty said of the 6-6, 224-pound righthander. "We consider him to be a potential number one starter who, contractually, we have under control for four more years. To acquire a pitcher who is ready to fit into the top of a rotation, you have to give up talent."

Latos went had 3.47 ERA and .233 average against in 31 starts for San Diego last season. In 2010, his first full season in the Majors, he set a modern Major League record by allowing two-runs-or-fewer in 15 straight starts of five-or-more innings pitched, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.

PHILLIPS WINS 2011

LOUISVILLE SLUGGER

SILVER SLUGGER AWARD
November 2, 2011 – Reds second baseman Brandon Phillips is a three-time Gold Glover, a two-time All-Star and now he's a Silver Slugger, too.

Phillips won the honor from the makers of Louisville Slugger bats on Wednesday as the top offensive second baseman in the National League. It's the first such honor for the 30-year-old.

Phillips led NL players at the position with a .300 batting average, 183 hits, 279 total bases, 94 runs scored and 38 doubles. Cincinnati shifted Phillips to the leadoff spot on Aug. 17, and he batted .350 over his final 38 games to seal the deal.

RAWLINGS GOLD GLOVE

AWARD®
November 2, 2011 – Rawlings announced that Reds 2B Brandon Phillips and 1B Joey Votto are 2011 Gold Glove Award winners.

Phillips earns his third Rawlings Gold Glove Award® and his second in consecutive years. He also won it in 2008. Phillips is the first Reds second baseman to win back-to-back Gold Gloves since Pokey Reese did it in 1999 and 2000 and the first Reds second baseman to win it 3 or more times since Joe Morgan won it 5 straight years from 1973-1977. He joins Johnny Bench (10), David Concepcion (5), Joe Morgan (5), Cesar Geronimo (4), Eric Davis (3), Barry Larkin (3) and Roy McMillan (3) as Reds players to win 3 or more Gold Gloves.

Votto becomes the first Reds first baseman ever to win a Rawlings Gold Glove and the first player in 16 years, other than Albert Pujols, Adrian Gonzalez, Derrek Lee, Todd Helton, J.T. Snow or Mark Grace to win the award at first base.
