Here is the link to all the sports page rumours involving the Reds
http://www.prosportsdaily.com/mlb/reds/rumors.html
Indians sports page talk of trading Sabathia and Davis for Dunn..
Cards could package either Anthony Reyes or Adam Wainwright for one of Pena, Dunn Kearns.
Milton could be traded to Nationals or Yankees..
And of Course Randa to Twins
I'd trade WMP for Adam Wainwright.Originally Posted by IBCK40
School's out. What did you expect?
I'd rather have Reyes.
Wainwright has allowed 118 hits in 113 innings, and an underwhelming 6.75 k/9 rate. Wainwright projects as a fine #3 starter, but Reyes could be a number 2.
Anthony Reyes
those are some nice numbers. I see what you're saying.
how old is he?

OOO, OOO, Mistah Kahtah! REYES, please!

Wainwright is 23...turns 24 in late August. Reyes turns 24 in October.
How about sending them Mercker and/or Weathers and package something together to get both? I doubt they would let both of them go, but a boy can dream.

as much as i'd like reyes i'd pass on sending any of the three to the cardinals...
how come it seems every team in the majors wants Dunn, Pena and Kearns, except the Reds?
I don't think it'd be wise to trade any of them to a division rival, unless the deal is that great for the Reds.
If the Reds can get one or both of the Cardinals young arms, it will be worth it.

The best of the Cards young arms is now pitching in Oakland. But Reyes is a close second.
The Cards can keep Howingto--errr--Wainwright.

The trade would end up like this, the names are interchangeable:
Reds get pitcher x who either has or will develop shoulder problems.
The Cards recieve OF y who will actually get to hit higher than 6th in their lineup and will promptly hit 40+HR and drive in 100+ RBI next year and for many years to follow.
Not only this but he will take special delight in joining Pujols in a competition to see who can get the most hugs from Casey as they jog past 1B a dozen times per series when they play us again.
All the while the Reds FO and their living embodiment Grande sit confused wondering why we aren't scoring more runs now that we got rid of a high strikeout power hitter and replaced him with a scrappy sac fly specialist.
Its all so sadly predictable.
While your speculative situation would be bad, what would be worse is if the Reds hedged on nabbing Reyes for WMP because of WMP's tape-measure home run shots, ignoring all the other deficiencies in his game.The trade would end up like this, the names are interchangeable:

But something tells me we'll not have to worry about either scenario, as I doubt the Reds even know enough to target Reyes. Nor is Jocketty stupid enough to give the Reds Reyes for WMP.

Oh I agree, I could easily see Dunn go for a prospect of lesser status than Reyes. Jocketty vs O'Brien is not exactly a matchup in our favor.
