I know it's a bit early to focus on the hot stove league, but it never hurts to look to see how the ball club could be improved.
(please keep the pitchforks at bay)
Reds get:
Hanley Ramirez
Mike Stanton
Marlins get:
Chapman
Alonso
one of Janish/Frazier/Valaika/Cozart
I wonder if the Marlins would love to get their hands on the CUBAN phenom, and just how much they'd (over)pay to get him. Would they give up Ramirez and Stanton. Stanton is super young and has prodigious power that seems to have translated to the majors quite nicely. They also could use a solid hitting prospect, plus they'd need someone to fill in at SS.
I know we'll be giving up Chapman, but the chance to add that much offense, still having a stable of young pitchers to fill out the rotation, you couldn't pass that up. Imagine the next 5 years of Stanton/Stubbs/Bruce, with Ramirez at SS. That's as strong as it gets right there.
OK, have at me.
