Hypothetical: would you trade every one of the Reds top 6 prospects plus Senzel for Lindor AND Betts?
Senzel, Greene, Lodolo, India, Garcia, Stephenson, and Santillan for Lindor and Betts (with very little hope to re-sign either one)?
Imagine:
SS Lindor
CF Betts
1B Votto
2B Moustakas
3B Suarez
LF Winker
RF Aquino
C Barnhart
While the lineup is drool-worthy and the Reds would undoubtedly be immediate WS Contenders if not favorites for 2020, it would be too much long term value to give up for me. That said, if you remove two of the prospects from that deal - including one of Lodolo/Greene, I’d do it. Flags fly forever and all that.
