So if the Reds turn it on over the next month or two, who should they target in trade to help them? My choice is Max Scherzer.

100% a real SS

jose barrero is the real SS. it's just a matter of when they call him up. no need to trade for a SS now when we know who our SS of the future is.
the time to trade for a SS was the offseason. now? might as well roll with farmer until they call barrero up. which i imagine won't be long from now.

Agree. Need to be a little more patient with Jose. Prior to this season he's only had two seasons of low/high A ball. Doing well at AA Chattanooga, a true test, for the moment ...

Address the pitching woes they created (lol). Of course young arms like Greene, Lodolo, Santillan, and Gutierrez may correct that. Just get a couple to hit and that's a huge improvement to this rotation with a Gray and Mahle. They still have Castillo under their control relatively cheap. Keep fingers crossed he can figure it out. But at the soon-to-be age of 29 the clock is ticking.

The problem with picking up an infielder or specifically a shortstop is who do you sit when Moustakas comes back. You have to sit Suarez, Moustakas, India, or Votto. You could trade 1 of the 4 but I feel Suarez, Moustakas, and Vottos are untradeable because of contract and or performance reasons. The Reds would be crazy to trade India to make a hole for a shortstop. The only way to make it work in my opinion is to only play Suarez at 3rd against left handers and Moustakas vs righties.

Well, that's what those words mean. He was here. If they don't keep him, he will have been lost/subtracted. I headed out the door today with two shoes on my feet. If I don't return with them, I have lost them. If I do return with them, I haven't added them. ---M2

Schrok for Scherzer.
Schtraight up.
If they turn it around, I'd trade for Trevor Story and some relief help. The Reds will never spend the money to add and shouldn't spend the controllable talent.
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!
