What would it take to land David Wright?

Re: David Wright to 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'.

Re: David Wright to Cincinnati?
Ugghh, Bleacher Report. This is not a rumour.
Would be cool though. |

Re: David Wright to Cincinnati?
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.

Re: David Wright to Cincinnati?
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.

Re: David Wright to Cincinnati?
I would put the chances of this happening at exactly zero percent.

Re: David Wright to Cincinnati?
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..

Re: David Wright to Cincinnati?
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. Last edited by Kc61; 10-31-2012 at 02:54 PM. |

Re: David Wright to Cincinnati?
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.

Re: David Wright to Cincinnati?
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. |
