An even trade at BTV would be something like...
WAS gets:
3b Suarez
CIN gets:
SS Garcia
RH Crowe
SS Cluff

Move Moose to 3rd and get a real 2b and SS

Reds don’t really do well in these deals. Ed Yarnall still wants his rotation slot.

My translation is the Rizzo called about Suarez, Krall told him what the Reds would need in return and Rizzo thanked him for his time and hung up.
Rizzo then leaked this to Heyman in the hopes that it would help lower Krall’s asking price.

I don’t think anything is going to happen. In addition to Kieboom, another young talented guy coming off a bad year in the majors is Victor Robles.
Stick to your guns.

Kieboom and Robles would be enough for me to get behind that deal, I think. Kieboom would get first crack at SS, while Robles would play CF. Senzel would play 2B and Moustakas could move to 3B. (With India hot on his trail.)
It'd be a heckuva gamble, but I'd do it. I think.

Sonny Gray and Eugenio Suarez are the last two players I’d trade on the Reds right now. Unless Juan Soto is coming back, the Nats can forget it (at least I hope)
Go BLUE!!!

The Cueto trade itself was a good one. They got two too 100 MLB prospects for two months of Cueto. That’s a haul.
They rushed and misused those prospects, which is a big reason why they flopped, but even if they didn’t prospects flop all the time. It was a good trade that just didn’t work out.
