They progressed under Williams and Krall. Now Krall is in charge so we should wait and see how he runs the front office and what moves he makes. Fair enough.

If they just wanted to dump salary I think a move or moves would've already been made. I don't count the Iglesias and tenders as moves that really set them back at all. If you're trading Gray or Suarez, you are likely getting unproven prospects. That means you're rebuilding, and who knows if those prospects will even pan out. I'm tired of rebuilds. If you start one, see it through till the end, like the Braves have done. The Reds are bailing on the last rebuild before even giving it a chance.

Apparently, frontline SP's are what every team wants. So teams that have 1 or 2 are being talked to quite heavily. Yu could bring quite the return.
