    Reds Interested In Kelly Shoppach

    MLBTR.com

    Reds have interest in the Indians catcher. The Indians are looking for a second baseman, third baseman, or closer in any deal.

    Wonder what we would have to give up to get him?

    Shoppach is a good target. He's a good defender, still relatively young (turns 29 in April) and he can hit.

    I doubt Phillips brings back Shoppach straight up.

    Encarnacion for Shoppach makes some sense for both teams.

    Except the Indians. They're not going to tolerate his garbage at third.

    Roenicke and Keppinger?

    Weathers, Roenicke and Keppinger for Shoppach and a decent prospect?

    You're right. The Reds don't have anyone good enough to trade for the immortal Kelly Shoppach. And the razor-sharp Indians are much too smart to want Encarnacion.

    Seriously ... the sky-is-falling hyperbole is getting ridiculous. I'm not a huge EE fan at all, but he's not garbage and he does have some value. This team is playing Jonny Peralta at SS for crying out loud. I think they have looked the other way on defense at times.

    have always liked Shoppach since his days in the Sox minors. Good plate discipline with some pop while playing half his games in a pitchers park(Jacobs).

    I like him a lot better than Laird.

    Cordero + one-third of his remaining salary for Shoppach. Done.

    Anyone with two eyes can see EdE's not a third baseman. Now if Cleveland wants to get creative and put him in the OF, then maybe a deal can be struck, but I can assure they don't want the guy at third.

    Phillips + Roenicke might do it though.

    While Weathers has agreed to arbitration, a new contract has not been agreed to either through arbitration or negotiation, so I don't think he can be traded. Likewise, somewhere in the back of my mind, it seems to me a player signed as a free agent can't be traded until after the season starts, but I can't find a reference to that.

    I think Weathers is considered a signed player and, if traded, he can arbitrate with the new team. Not sure, though.
