My big concern with Story is home/road splits.

Offer Senzel, Winker, Barnhart or Casali, and a top prospect for Lindor then use the Bauer, Disco, etc. money to sign Lindor to a LTC.
I'd prefer Semien, all things considered.
A one- or two-year deal similar to Castellanos' would make sense for both parties, IMO.

Absolute No's for me are trading for Lindor or Story. We need our top minor league talent.
Of the listed free agents Didi, Semien and Simmons in that order.
In reality I'd prefer Kim out of Korea.

If its free agency then DiDi or Seimen are the choices. Kim might want to go to the A's or Phillies or Rangers.
I'm not a system player. I am a system.
Lindor and Story are one-year players. Free agents after 2021. Don’t recall that being the case with Yelich or Greinke.
Personally, I have no interest in trading for a one-year shortstop unless the consideration is very light. Such as a prospect Reds don’t really love and would rather use for trade bait. Or a contract Reds would rather shed.

My guess is the Reds are hoping someone wants India. I think that may be why they are moving off of Lindor. I think the Indians are asking for something significant (mostly to save face) and the Reds are pushing India, and the Indians will not bite. Now they are moving on to the Rockies and hoping they are interested.
Prediction if this comes to fruition: India will mash in Colorado and Reds fan are going to moan for next 5 years.
What would you say.....ya do here?

Looking beyond the question of what it would take to get Lindor or Story, I don't see what makes Lodolo untouchable. I like him quite a bit but he hasn't pitched higher than A ball yet and he doesn't have the raw stuff of a Hunter Greene.
Greene and Stephenson I'd be very hard pressed to deal. Lodolo, Garcia, and especially Jonathan India, I have little issue with trading them in the right deal.
