It's been a pretty busy off season
Reds Fan Since 1971
Just reading tea leaves here and pure conjecture...
But with the news that the Reds are shopping Senzel, have went after Seager this year, and are only truly paying Castellanos 10 million this season....
Theres an awful lot of smoke to say the reds are going to try hard for Seager in the next week.
Seems like the Dodgers were really only interested in trading Seager if they got Lindor. Somebody else mentioned Chris Taylor as an option. I could definitely see that happening.
I wouldn't want Taylor......strikes out almost 33% of the time. Last year: 366 ab's-115 K's.
Reds need on base hitters.
His last three years he's had OBPs of .354, .331 and .333. That would be one of the top 5 OBPs on the roster even with the added guys. I'd love to have Taylor. He'd be my starting SS.
All my posts are my opinion - just like yours are. If I forget to state it and you're too dense to see the obvious, look here!
Looks like Dodgers are trying to move either Kike Hernandez or Taylor. They see them as the same player. Taylor would be my starting SS over Galvis. He could even hit leadoff and he is only $5M with two years of control. Reds need someone in addition to Galvis to play SS IMO.
Would you trade Winker for Taylor straight up?
No, but I'd trade Aquino and throw in Santillan if need be.

In a heartbeat....but the Dodgers wouldn't
yes
Might be an option, but not for Senzel.
A previous post said that the Castellanos option may have been hit upon as mutually beneficial; Reds may be pleased if it is exercised; others like Aquino may then deserve more playing time for less money than Cast receives.
This is a common argument in these situations, but the option is not mutually beneficial. The player has full control over its exercise. It will be exercised in the player’s best interest, not the team’s. The more value Castellanos has, the more likely he walks.
Circumstances may evolve so the exercise is ok or even helpful to the Reds. But that would be happenstance. The option is the player’s.
