    I'd even settle for Stripling.

    One reason I was ok with his inclusion in the Puig trade was that I bought what the Reds player development department was selling about him being a future 2B.
    If he can play SS, he's a different prospect altogether.

    Since there are no teams on the moon, I guess South Korea's far enough from Cincinnati to satisfy me.

    Haven't you realized that once you put on a Red's uniform their market value triples in the minds of a lot of their fans? LOL

    No disrespect to WM, because I've seen this "attitude" a lot on this forum over the years when it comes to valuing their own players. But the logic is, someone starts a thread "What Are We Going To Do About (position) Because So-and-So Ain't working Out? Lets trade So-and-So to upgrade another premium position.

    When you've got an angry fan base, probably best for the owner not to come out with a self-contradicting word salad that translates to "you don't understand business."

    Are they really angry enough that it will hurt attendence and TV Ratings though?
    I can see them being mad , kind of like how we got mad that Neagle was dumped when the team was still in 2nd place, but is it mad enough to make a real impact? Just asking, not trying to argue.
    [Phil ] Castellini celebrated the team's farm system and noted the team had promising prospects who would one day be great Reds -- and then joke then they'd be ex-Reds, saying "of course we're going to lose them". #SellTheTeamBob

    We'll have to see. It's entirely possible tourists replace fans, but raising already absurd ticket prices while moving your best player since Yaz has the local level of disgust running high.
