So, the Yankees asked for Taylor Trammell in trade for Sonny Gray.
Yeah, I don't think so. Glad the front office said 'hell no' as well. lol
But we're probably in for another routine Winter... plenty of rumors, but no action on our end.

Today it was said that Happ will sign with the first team to give him a 3 year offer. The Reds should jump on that immediately. I personally don't believe that the multiple offers out there are ONLY for 2 years, but if so, the Reds are crazy not to pull that trigger. Happ is better than Keuchel, and would take less years (3 versus 4 or 5), and would be cheaper. Get that done NOW, and then go out and get Kluber. Deal Trammell, Long, and one of the young pitchers that has bounced back and forth between AAA and MLB, not named Mahle. That would be a huge Merry Christmas to Reds fans.

I think Cleveland would want better players though. |

Rumor: Salary swap, but may take a few additional pieces....
Bailey to the Dodgers for Kemp.
Sounds decent to me, so far.
Unfortunately, I don't think Kemp plays CF now like he has in the past, so he would probably be limited to a corner. But a deal like this might allow a Winker deal to get pitching to actually have some merit. Then they just need to cover CF.

Kemp can't play CF anymore, and quite frankly, he is terrible at the corners too. Having said that, I'd love to see a deal like this, because Kemp can hit. I'd much rather see the Bailey for Wood and Puig materialize. |

Well, the latest on it is Kemp and Wood for Bailey. I would imagine that the Dodgers want the Reds to add a little.

At one point, I heard the Reds might have to give up a catcher(Barnhart) & AA P-Vladimir Gutierrez, the Reds #9-10ish prospect. You wonder though if the getting Roark lessens the need for Wood |
