CINCINNATI — Former National League Rookie of the Year Jonathan India took to social media to say goodbye to the Reds and the city of Cincinnati.

He thanked the organization and Cincinnati Reds fans for his time playing professional ball for the city.
The Reds announced in November that they would be sending India and outfielder Joey Wiemer to Kansas City in exchange for pitcher Brady Singer, Major League Baseball.
India was selected fifth overall by the Reds in the 2018 MLB draft, making his major league debut on Opening Day 2021.
