Reds Trade Johnny Cueto to Royals for Three Pitchers

Yesterday, Johnny Cueto was originally set to be traded to the Kansas City Royals prior to Cueto’s start with the Reds versus the Colorado Rockies. It almost happened, but one of the players that the Royals were going to send to the Reds didn’t check out to medically.

Sources indicate that the problem was that one of the players going from the #Royals to the #Reds for Cueto did not check out medically.
