Acquired by Tigers Barnhart was traded from the Reds to the Tigers in exchange for infielder Nick Quintana on Wednesday, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.
Impact The 30-year-old appeared in 116 games for Cincinnati in 2021 and slashed .247/.317/.368 with seven home runs, 48 RBI and 41 runs during that time. After spending the first eight seasons of his career with the Reds, he's likely in line to serve as Detroit's primary catcher in 2022, even though Eric Haase hit 22 home runs in 2021. Barnhart has a $7.75 million team option for 2022, and the Tigers intend to exercise it, according to Jon Heyman of MLB Network.
