1984Echoes Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 5 hours ago, RedTeamGo! said: https://www.redlegnation.com/2023/07/30/cincinnati-reds-reportedly-interested-in-tigers-pitcher-eduardo-rodriguez/ The Cincinnati Reds are interested in Detroit Tigers left-handed starting pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez according to Mike Rodriguez. I think the tigers and reds match up nicely in a trade. I’d do something like Arroyo, Rece Hinds, Dunn, and Acosta for ERod and Lorenzen. I think that’s fair. Arroyo is a top 50 prospect in mlb. Hinds has very high level power and started making more contact this year, Acosta is a young starter with good stuff, and Dunn is MIF prospect that has shot up 3 levels this year while tearing the cover off of the ball. If this trade got it done I actually wouldn’t feel great about it as a Reds fan, but would set the Reds up well for rest of the year to make the postseason. Marte and Petty are untouchable in my eyes. I really would prefer not to trade Richardson and Phillips. I could see Collier getting moved as well. Those are simply players that Harris has zero interest in. He's looking for a different "type" of player... both pitchers and position players who dominate the strike zone. That means he would be interested in Marte/ Collier/ Petty/ Stoudt/ Aguiar... And none of the guys you listed. And with both Eduardo and Lorenzen... I think the trade price starts with Collier/ Petty/ Aguiar... Just my 2 cents... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not familiar with the Phillies system, but we know DD like to trade prospects. I think it will be Cincy, Baltimore or the Phillies in at least one deal with us.

If Dunn isn’t dominating the strike zone I don’t know who does. As for Stoudt, yeah, take him ha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UCFKNIGHT Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 Any interest in Christian Walker from the Diamondbacks? If the Orioles want Michael Lorenzen or Eduardo Rodriguez, Scott Harris should demand Grayson Rodriguez in return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Cowan Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 It sounds like more than one team is interested in Lorenzen and Rodriguez, which is good. If you only have one dance partner you're kind of screwed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have very little pitching and very little hitting. I would prefer hitting. They have emphasized pitching in the draft for 30 years and for the most part have SFA to show for it.

Yes and I am so naive to think that after about 1985 there were a bunch of guys out there with a bat, a glove, and an arm. Maybe one or two but 90% of them were playing point guard or RPO quarterback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably because of the new drafting system. If Avila did anything well, his strength was drafting pitching. Especially in 2019.
