Looking at his mentality and his numbers, he is nowhere near worth it. Frankly, I don't see the productivity being anywhere near worth it, talent-wise, he looks only slightly above middle of the road. But, throw in his personality, and I find him to be completely worthless. Add in his age and contract, and he becomes a huge negative.
How about this hypothetical?
Reds deal Cordero, Taveras, Lincoln
Cubs deal $2 million, Bradley and Zambrano
Takers?
I would in a heartbeat.

He's right. Bradley cost the Cubs 5X more money than WT cost the Reds.C. Trent actually thinks the Taveras signing was better than the Bradley signing.
fwiw, I would guess that there's zero chance that Walt would take a chance on Bradley at this point. The Reds chances of improving are too precarious. But someone will, and I wouldn't bet against that team ending up with a year's worth of good production.
I find myself wondering what type of manager could handle him best, seeing that Lou couldn't make a go at it (that should have been predictable--Lou seems to have high standards.) Dusty handles players pretty well, maybe he would do a good job with MB. If so, we should immediately ship him off to whoever signs him, for the good of all involved. :
