If I am the Reds, I want EVERY rumor to connect them to a FA signing. Driving the price up on everyone.
Then I want them to swoop in and sign MadBum. I roll with Galvis at SS for his defense and power. yeah, he's OBP challenged but that's the only hole in his game.
Betts seems hell bent on FA. So trading for him is a non-starter. If the Reds could get a window to sign him to a LTC, sure.
If the Reds get Grandal, and that's all they do, then this off season isn't a failure. Just not a raving success. If they get Ozuna, they'll have buyer's remorse a lot sooner than later.
