The contract includes deferrals, so $5 million of his earnings will not come until 2021.

The Atlanta Braves announced that they have acquired second baseman Brandon Phillips from the Cincinnati Reds. 

In exchange for Phillips, the Reds received two minor league prospects: right-hander Carlos Portuondo and left-hander Andrew McKirahan.

Phillips is owed $14 million on his contract for the 2017 season, and the Reds will pay all but $1 million of that sum. In order to complete this trade, Phillips waived his 10-and-5 (10 years in MLB; five with current team) no-trade rights.
