Re: Shin-soo Choo?
Just to show what kind of value this represents, check out this hypothetical trade that the author of Red Reporter was willing to make:

A great question that should be asked of a lot of players across the board.

8. Hanigan
That's the lineup I would expect, with Mes getting an increasing share of the catching duties.

Re: Shin-soo Choo?
Outside of Danny Graves, would Choo be the first Asian player in Reds history?

Re: Shin-soo Choo?
Choo for Didi and Stubbs is a steal for the Reds. An absolute robbery, if true.

Boy, I go out for 45 minutes and all hell breaks loose.

Yep my productivity just died with this rumor. Choo or Bruce's defense in center is an absolute question mark, but that bat would be monumental to the lineup. I like Gregorius, but honestly I'm okay with selling him off and sticking with Cozart. Cozart's at the very least a great glove we can hide towards the bottom of the order.

Much better hitter, more power potential, better defensively, better speed and a better arm. So he is just like Paul Janish, but better at everything across the board than him.

Re: Shin-soo Choo?
Starting to sound like this would be basically be step 1 in a 3 way trade with Arizona, with perhaps both Stubbs and Didi going to Arizona.

If that's the case I'd rather just get Upton for ourselves.

I think A.Cabrera could be headed to Arizona, Upton to Texas, and Texas prospects to Cleveland. But that's just me.

Doesn't that just make him pan-Asian?
