Hi All - Reds fan here. My Reds are looking to hopefully take another step forward after reaching the postseason with just 83 wins this past season, and their biggest need, by far, is a solid hitting outfielder.
I have been thinking that Rodriguez would be a good trade target. What would the Twins need to receive in return for EM? The Reds are deep in young pitching, and I think it would make sense to leverage that in a trade. Would someone like Nick Lodolo interest the Twins? He's a high potential young starter who has already proven his swing & miss stuff at the MLB level. He has had a few weird injuries, but so has EM.
I think just about anyone on the Reds roster or in their system could be made available, except for maybe Elly, Noelvi Marte, and Sal Stewart, since they are probably our best offensive players, and we are needing to add rather subtract offense.
Thoughts?
