Trade Idea with Colorado

[schroomytunes]

What about this trade idea with Colorado?

Reds trade- Freddy Galvis, Nick Senzel, Jonathon India, Jose Gutierrez

Rockies trade- Trevor Story, Bryan Shaw(11 million remaining on contract) and Nico Decolati(A) OF #21 prospect

[WrongVerb]

I've been saying for awhile now that Trevor Story was a worthy trade target. It'll probably take TySteve to get him though. And I doubt the Reds would have to give up Senzel.

This is virtually an even trade on that trade site:

CIN gets:
SS Story

COL gets:
3b India
CA Stephenson

This brings up a value question for the Reds. Who will be worth more to them over the next half decade, Senzel or Stephenson? I could really see an argument for either. I think Senzel will produce better overall numbers as long as he's healthy. Stephenson plays the premium position, but how much stock do you put in his latest season?

1,000 times out of 1,000 would I rather trade Stephenson for Story than Senzel for Lindor.

It’s not even remotely close for me.

Even when you factor in that Senzel is mostly a robot now?

I wouldn't have much of a problem trading Ty Stephenson for Trevor Story. One thing about Story that bothers me is that he strikes out a lot. Other than that, I'd make the move. But, if it would help the Reds win a WS I'd trade Senzel for Lindor in a second.

Story had extreme home/road splits.

Look at these slugging percentages:

Home: .630
Away: .443

OPS:

Home: .998
Away: .756

Kinda terrifying

I thought that at first, too. But it should be said that if you put the Reds in the NL West and take out Rockies, the Reds home/away splits in general might be similar playing at GABP. Those NLW ballparks are pretty rough on players. And a .756 away split on OPS still isn’t bad for a SS, and still .75 higher than Galvis’s career numbers.

Also, he still hit 11HR in 71 games on the road in those ballparks. He has legit power.

I’d give up Winker for him. Maybe do the Stephenson trade that’s been floated on here.

And also as noted here before, it’s hard to name the last Rockies hitter who left Coors and didn’t have their splits even out.

Story didn’t play 71 games on the road last year in “spacious” NL west ballparks because teams only play about 76 total games against their own division each year, so it would be about 36-38 games in those parks.

How about this one:

Colorado gets Winker and Tyler Stephenson.
Reds get Story, Wade Davis, and $8.5 million.

Resulting in a position player roster of:

1b Votto
2b Moustakas
SS Story
3b Saurez
LF Senzel
CF Shogo
RF Aquino
CA Barnhart

OF Ervin
OF Jankowski
UT Farmer
IF Galvis
CA Casali

I like it. The cherry on top would be Castellanos instead of Aquino in RF but doubtful that would happen.

[allpurpose]

Something about Tyler Stephenson makes me want to keep him long term and if I'm completely wrong and he turns into a complete bust then well...I would have been wrong for the first time in the past 12 1/2 seconds..maybe 12 3/8ths of a second.. My second hand is hard to read..

I know the Rockies are starving for a catcher, but I suppose it is worth asking. Is Stephenson an attractive enough of a target that the Rockies would be interested in making a deal?

I imagine it all depends what they decide to do with Arenado.
