Taking a general look at the Reds and the trades they have made over the last year.
And other deals.
Trading Simon for Suarez is, for the moment, probably a good trade.
Trading Latos for DeSclafani and Wallach will probably be a good trade.
Trading for Byrd was probably a short-term mistake, impeding the progress of a younger Winker.
Moving ahead, it's clear the Reds will lose Cueto and probably Leake. They will get a comp pick.
Pena will probably go FA. Barnhart will be the No. 1 catcher, which is probably a good deal.
The middle infield for the 2016 season is unstable. The outfield will still blow. Infield corners are stable.
Rotation next year: DeSclafani, Lorenzen, Iglesias, Moscot, Bailey eventually, and I'd guess ... somebody else. Howard, Travieso, Stephenson ....
Reds have a lot of good young arms.
Do they trade for somebody?
Do they trade Bruce? Frazier? Chapman?
The bullpen is not a consideration so far for next year.
