Let's talk rumors...
http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1...for-cincinnati
Seems like nothing but meaningless speculation, sadly. BleacherReport is not a news source, and the article they linked to on ESPN had the author say his list of teams were just 'guesses'.
“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”
It's Halloween.
WE NEED SOMETHING
Ugghh, Bleacher Report. This is not a rumour.
Would be cool though.
You want to talk about optimism heading into 2013...
Sadly if this report was from anywhere else besides the Bleacher Report I might get excited about this rumor. But they are as bad as it gets in Internet reporting and have absolutely no credibility with me. It is a nice thought though to have Wright at 3rd base. It would cure a lot of ills,offensively, for this team.

It would probably take more than Leake, Stubbs, and Mesoraco. It would have to be closer to Bailey, Frazier, and Mes. And I would still do that deal in a heartbeat.

I would put the chances of this happening at exactly zero percent.
That's the easy part. Where's the money going to come from?Originally Posted by Johnny Footstool
Jamie Ramsey wrote the article if you didn't notice. Better off Red dude.
~edit~ My bad. JOSH Ramsey. I saw JRamsey. Sorry.
Man, that would be a dream acquision..
I think I would cannonize Walt if he could pull off this trade and extend Wright.
Would be the perfect fit..
[Phil ] Castellini celebrated the team's farm system and noted the team had promising prospects who would one day be great Reds -- and then joke then they'd be ex-Reds, saying "of course we're going to lose them". #SellTheTeamBob

Won't happen, but keep in mind that Wright is becoming a free agent soon and is expensive. So in this regard, his "value" is less than Latos'.
On the other hand, Wright is a far more proven player than Latos.
Mesoraco, Gregorius, Corcino/Cingrani (one of them), and Bailey would be a good package.
Reds might try to substitute Leake or Arroyo for Bailey. Arroyo is effective in NY, but older.
Another combo - Mesoraco, Gregorius, Cingrani/Corcino, and Frazier. Todd would be a natural in NY.
Another combo - Stephenson, Mesoraco, Gregorius, and a lesser player, say Stubbs or Heisey.

I don't trade any MLB players, except for Cozart maybe. I really wouldn't want to trade Mesoraco either. But if I could extend Wright, I'd do this.
Mesoraco, Cozart, Corcino/Cingrani, Lotzkar and maybe Lutz or someone like that if they want him.
Trading Mes just makes zero sense on any level for the Reds.
Who's catching the next 5 years?
I can almost assure that Hanigan is not the long term solution. He could become a sub .600 OPS bat awfully fast.
When Wright is at 3B, honestly I don't really care.
