I’ve always felt that Reds were headed to CES, McLain, EDLC and Marte in the infield. With others having to find another role. But now, India, Steer, Senzel (to an extent), all are having good years. And Reds don’t seem to be moving guys to OF positions very much.
So now I’m concluding that some trades are inevitable. And the target area is mostly pitching. Reds have some good kids on the mound but lack SP depth and impact relievers.
My current thinking is Reds aren’t trying to squeeze them all in. Some will be moved out.
I’d posit that maybe a trade of Marte, Senzel and Williamson could get you a mid-rotation established starter. After all, Marte headed the Castillo package. I’d posit that Steer or India could become a LFer over the winter. But somehow, they will have to confront this logjam, I hope there’s a good plan.
