Are either $\pi + e$ or $\pi e$ transcendental if we add digit-wise?

Since $x^2 - (e + \pi)x + e \pi = (x - \pi)(x - e)$ has transcendental roots, we know that the coefficients are not both rational, maybe not even irrational.

My question is, can we determine, by either adding or multiplying digit-wise $(\mbox{mod }10)$, whether the resulting numbers are transcendental?
