CINCINNATI — Joey Wiemer is coming home.

The 25-year-old is Cincinnati-bound after the Brewers traded him to the Reds in a three-player trade that sent Frankie Montas to Milwaukee.

Wiemer got off to an impressive start for the Brewers last season, finishing with 13 home runs and 42 RBI in 132 games. He's only appeared in 19 games this season.

He joins a Reds club that could use more power in the outfield.

Wiemer spent three seasons at the University of Cincinnati (2018-20), posting a .264/.379/.408 slash line with 12 home runs and 62 RBI.

It'll be great to have a Bearcats alum back in the Queen City!
