The Reds traded right-hander Robert Stephenson and field prospect Jameson Hannah to the Rockies for right-hander Jeff Hoffman and right-hander prospect Case Williams, Cincinnati reported on Wednesday.

Stephenson has a career 5.15 average over 208 innings in five years with the Reds, with 22 starts included among his 104 appearances. His best year came in 2019, his first as a full-time reliever, when he went 3-2 with a 3.76 ERA in 57 appearances. Hannah, 23, Cincinnati’s No.15 prospect, posted an OPS of 0.708 with 28 doubles for Minors in 2019.

Like Stephenson, Hoffman is a five-year veteran who recently made the move to the relieving box, despite battling at a 9.28 ERA in 21 1/3 innings last season. The Rockies selected Williams, a Colorado native, in the fourth round of the 2020 Draft.
