The Cincinnati Reds get Relievers Gary Majewski and Bill Bray, shortstop Royce Clayton, infielder Brendan Harris and pitching prospect Daryl Thompson. The 36-year-old Clayton, will take over at shortstop for Lopez, who made his first All-Star team last year.
The Nationals get right fielder Austin Kearns, shortstop Felipe Lopez, and reliever Ryan Wagner, a first-round draft pick in 2003.
At first glance it looks like the Nationals got the better end of the deal by far but the Reds have a shot at making the playoffs and they needed to make their bullpen better and they did that. Royce Clayton is also an upgrade defensively over Lopez.
