Choo has already demonstrated how much he likes hitting in GABP. I think he'll like some of the other NL Central and NL east parks just as much.

I like the deal, but it's a lot to give up for one year of Choo.
Meh. I don't think the Reds are really giving anything up. Stubbs was finished as far as the Reds' long-term plans are concerned. And to be honest, I never saw the fascination over Gregorious.
If you had asked me what it would take to acquire Choo, I would assume a LOT more than this.

If Cabrera is included, not sure how I feel about it. Definitely improves the offense. But definitely weakens the D.
I'd be surprised if the Reds were willing to take on that much payroll.
I agree. I've never thought of Gregorius as anything more than a utility guy with a great glove. Janish-lite.
My I-Phone just had a pop-up update from Cincinnati Baseball stating what we all know......"Reds close to trading for Choo".
Old news, but interesting that it just popped up on my phone.
Reds also may get another player. Any guesses? Jason Donald?
Okay, didn't realize this. 4 of the Indians top 5 prospects....shortstops. Interesting.
I can't wait for this to be final. I bet we don't hear until tomorrow though.
