Help Support BearcatTalk:

On the trade rumor front i hear bearcattalk is closing in on a deal to send Bearcatboy to xavierhoops in exchange for an expired penn station gift card and a swift kick in the nuts.

Industry insiders really like the deal for bearcattalk.

Bruce doesn't want to be part of the rebuild and his recent comments have made that crystal clear.

That would put a damper on ability to extend him; however, it does make sense from a Reds perspective. Oh well, Jay is one of my favorite young kids coming through the system in the last 25 years.

My favorite Jay Bruce memory is a private affair. As the long U became common way of announcing his name, my son (6 at the time) kept thinking they were saying Babe Ruth. He asked me when the Reds got Babe Ruth from the Yankees LOL
 
I think the Reds should trade Hoover for Chapman
Brandon Phillips for Jose Altuve
Billy Hamilton for Mike Trout
Jay Bruce for Giancarlo Stanton
Adam Duvall for Bryce Harper
Barnhart for Posey
Simon for Kershaw
and if they would do it Straily and Cingrani for Cueto and Bumgarner

I think that should do it.

That's too many strikeouts in your line-up. That's only three in the starting rotation. Are Lamb and Finnegan the other two?

As to payroll, they wouldn't have to worry about it. The payroll deficit would be made up in increased ticket sales. Can you say sellout every game!

Finnegan and Lamb to the bullpen along with Iglesias. Cody Reed(he will learn) and Disco will close out the Rotation. Im told Bailey/Walt are being traded to the cubs for Joe Madden and Theo Epstein.

Strikeouts will be up, but so will Home runs. Home runs are cool because chicks dig that.
 
According to Peter Gammons, Reds asking price is really high for Bruce. They want 2 elite close to major league ready prospects and would like another prospect who is 19 or 20 years with some potential.

According to Buster Olney the Reds are looking for position player prospects more than pitching prospects for Cozart and Bruce.

So they will overvalue him. Deny a trade like the Reds did with Chapman and Arizona and not get much for him
 
Looks that way to me. Still cant believe they turned down the D'Backs offer for Chapman. Their top 4 prospects in a loaded farm system and a PTBNL. Oh and in case your wondering who that PTBNL was, it was SS Dansby Swanson. The #1 pick in the draft who is absolutely raking right now.

The Reds did okay ridding themselves of Chapman. There's always more value in season than offseason, but the Cubs overpaid! I wish the Reds would've received even half what the Yanks got.

The problem the Reds had was they did not know what Baseball was going to do with Chapman after he shot up his garage in a argument with his girl friend. If he would have been suspended for the whole season the Reds could have ended up with nothing. After that his market value also took a hit. The reds decided to get what they could and not roll the dice. I can't blame them.

The reds had to know that his suspension would not be long. There was no lawsuit. They also were shady about it, remember Boston was said to have known about the DV case before it was public and they traded for a closer, then the Reds panicked and WJ wanted him gone no matter what. Should have weathered the storm.

30 days is a long suspension. They also probablydidn't want the PR nightmare. Plus a guy firing a weapon 8 times in his garage after a argument with his girlfriend is not to be confused with a stable employee. Where do you draw the line with athletes.?

30 days is not long when the season is 6 months. NY took on the supposed PR nightmare and flipped Chappy for the #1 prospect the Cubs have. The real question was over his arbitration clock which was not affected. You must have forgotten about Alfredo Simon who had a lawsuit on him for rape and we traded him away and they got him back and wow, what a PR nightmare it has been with him. Overall, poor business decision by the reds, attendance was already tanking, the public has a short term memory, hold him back and trade at deadline to buyers. The whole thing smells like a salary dump of 5 mil.

Pat I guess will have to agree to disagree on a 30 day suspension. I agree it was a salary dump but the timing was affected by the incident. Holding him until the deadline looks good now because you don't have to try and perdict the market. You win some and you lose some in the trade game. time will tell how this one turns out. I didn't forget about Simon but he didn't have to face the commissioner and a new domestic violence policy. Certainly not a good move for the Reds but I can understand how it happened.

Trade Deadline: Bruce market is buzzing
EmailPrint If this trade works out when Jay was not worth what he is now then I guess everything kinda will balance out.
