5fouls Posted July 25, 2019 Report Share Posted July 25, 2019 Just now, rico said: Fair enough, so you consider this an audition. Yes. They have zero chance in signing him past this year, so if they want anything for him, he's got to go. Now, I know Roark is rumored as well, but I think the Reds might hang onto him because he's proven to be reliable just in case they sneak back into the wild-card race.. And, a healthy Wood will fetch more than a healthy Roark. That said, if Wood gets bombed, or shows he's not healthy, I think Roark goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if any team would take a chance on him after only one start. I see the Reds trading Puig which I don't really wat to see because he is one thing that makes watching the Reds enjoyable. I also could see them trading Roark as well but I don't think you would get much for either player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be surprised very f some contending team doesn't look to pick him up for the stretch run knowing they can let him walk after the season if they want.

Question for my fellow Reds fans, do you think it is best to trade most of the pending free agents? I just don't know if it is worth it if you just get some minor leaguer who really has no future or do you risk losing them for nothing. Never no maybe we get lucky and trade one of the veterans and that player we get turns out like John Smoltz. The Tigers traded Smoltz when he was a minor to the Braves for Doyle Alexander a veteran pitcher. Or get a Jeff Bagwell who was trade by the Red Sox for Larry Anderson.

I'm okay with trading either Wood or Roark. Trade one and they could still survive the year. Trade both and the tank is on. I'm okay of they trade Gennett I want to hang onto Puig and Jose Iglesias. Both those guys are critical to the team, and I would love for them to be part of something magical and maybe they would consider trying to stay. All that said, you are correct in that none of these guys is going to bring an overly impressive return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny thing is he had more starts last year in route to 9-7...but yeah somebody will pick him up if offered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smoltz and Bagwells are few and far between. We ain't gonna get a top prospect for anyone in this day and age. However we could get somebody that is already on a ML roster that has several years of control...and that is what the Reds need to be looking at.

Stlboiler23 Posted July 26, 2019 Report Share Posted July 26, 2019 Cards and Cubs all tied at the top of the Central. Cards finally starting to play some consistently good baseball. Tough 11 game stretch coming up though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn't be Garcia....he's done extremely well since being called up. Descalso should have been sent to the hills already so my guess it's him. Big series this weekend. Actually next 9 games all are huge. Trade deadline time is fun. Although so many teams like to link the Cubs to some of their players to drive up market value it's hard to figure out what's true.

I know attitude and a veteran's presence means a lot, but you gotta get something out of him on the field. The two names I'm hearing as far as deadline deals for the Cubs are Eric Sogard and Castellanos. Apparently the Royals have taken Merrifield off the table.

Makes sense to keep guys like that around because good clubhouse guys are very underrated. With that said and as you mentioned we have to get something from him. I'm really focusing on Castellanos as long as the asking price isn't exorbitant. Hadn't heard much on Sogard but like his lefty bat and can play multiple positions.
