Not sure I'd deal Fraley and Phillips for this deal.Quote:

Just a 3 year deal because he's 34. Any other FA starter who fills their need is going to take over 5 years, which makes it unlikely for the Reds to sign one.Quote:

I was thinking that's alot to give, why not Elroy or Robert's included of they add Another piece ??Quote:

Um the Outfield has Fraley, Benson and Friedl all leftys.. how are they very right-handed in the Outfield? They just let go Senzel who was righthandedQuote:

According to a source, the Reds were pursuing Sonny Gray and were close before he went to the Cardinals on a reported 3-year, $75 million deal.
Reds also have interest in Tyler Glasnow of the Rays. He's owed $25M in '24. TB is not wanting to rebuild and seeks MLB-ready starter.
What MLB ready starter could the Reds even send to the Rays for Glasnow?
WilliamsonQuote:

I am not saying they should do this, but the Reds have cheap guys who have been at or near the MLB level and who have shown enough promise for TB to ask for.
Lodolo + lower tier prospectQuote:

Out of those maybe 1 is MLB ready, though. I dunno if the Rays would want any of those guys. Williamson is probably most likely I guess. Lodolo has so many injury concerns. Phillips barely pitched last year at MLB ready, I consider him a prospect. Abbott showed some warts. Idk. I would gladly trade Lodolo or Phillips for Glasnow.Quote:
