The Reds are gonna wait around too long and mess it all up only to put themselves in an even deeper hole if they don’t go through with trading some players before the deadline.

Sounds like what happened to the Phillies. The owners were in denial and look where it has put them today.

The return might be enormous for Chris Sale, but I doubt the return would be as good as a 26 year old ace controllable through 2019 on a team friendly deal. It would be different if it was 2018 and it was looking like the ChiSox couldn’t turn it around before Sale hits free agency, but they have plenty of time to be successful with Sale leading the way. No matter the return, trading him now would be extremely risky at best and foolish at worst.

It doesn’t fit in with their timeline and who they have under contract now…and it certainly doesn’t seem to fit their methodology. Whether the team is winning now orxnot…the players, along with Abreau, were brought in to compete over the next few seasons. Rodon isn’t ready to step up, and Samardzija is free after this season. That’d leave 2 major holes at the top of a rotation on,what is supposed to be a.competitor….and they’ll have to spend to get the pitching back. Any deal for Sale would need to be franchise altering to even make sense.
As far as managerial decisions go….its time for Robin to be out.

Really, wha are the Reds supposed to say? Are they supposed to look desperate to sell and degrade their value. It sounds like a little of good cop/bad cop. Jockettys can play off his owners supposed unwillingness to trade players. Maybe it’s tough…pitchers like Leake seem to undermine Cuetos a little bit
