According to reports, Reds are ramping up negotiations with Miami about their all-star catcher Realmuto, and is possibly nearing a deal that would send at the minimum Johnathon India and Tucker Barnhart to Miami. Of course, other teams are also involved in trade talks with Miami for Realmuto, including the Padres, Dodgers and Braves, however, reports indicate that Reds are the most aggressive at this point in time.
Cincinnati is unwilling to part with Nick Senzel, Taylor Trammell and Hunter Greene, so the negotiations have begun with their last top 100 prospect India, and involved their Reds Gold Glove catcher from 2017, Tucker Barnhart.
A potential trade for Realmuto for the India, Barnhart and a potential other top 10 Reds Prospect could land the Cincinnati Reds with a potential lineup of:
LF Winker
2B Gennett
1B Votto
3B Suarez
C Realmuto
RF Puig
CF Senzel
SS Peraza
And a bench of: Kemp, Farmer, Schebler, Blandino and Cassali
This lineup could be a very scary proposition for opposing pitchers coming into hitter friendly GABP. Lots of All-Star and potential All-Star power in that lineup. Great OBP and power throughout the lineup.
If the Reds are not going to go out and overspend on an ace type pitcher like Dallas Keuchel, this could be their best option. Surround their improved pitching staff with a bunch of bombers to provide run support to guys that have no true ace of the staff. Of course, that logic only applies if some guys meet expectations, repeat past successes, and for goodness sake, stay healthy!
The Cincinnati Reds sure are making life for its fans exciting right now. Even as a guy who is starting to lose a little interest in baseball, I am very excited to see this team play and will even attend a few games this year. I have not been to a Reds game in like 5 years and only watched 10-15 games on tv last year. This year may be different with this type of potential lineup.
