Sorry to upload unreal trade. I've thought of SP rotation which includes Lodolo, Greene & Detmers.

I would be very interested in seeing if Reds could sign Sasaki.

KMMA, I love this trade for it's boldness. Is it unreal? Probably. But... What does it do to Halos OF? Can they replace both Marsh and Adell? They do have Jordyn Adams in the wings to go with Winker in LF and Friedl as 4th OF guy. How do Reds replace Farmer? He backs up so many positions. Lodolo, Greene, Detmers, Mahle, Gutierrez and Sanmartin will play. Reds also have Ashcraft coming soon. Reds SP room is looking good! Halos have really strengthened their team with these additions and are positioned to compete for a WS championship this year. This is a great trade for Reds who would have Marsh, Adell, Naquin in OF with Senzel, Siani and Aquino, DeShields (probably) rounding out OF room. You are correct in your assessment. Would the Reds FO have the courage to pull the trigger on a bold trade like this? Andc the fan base? I can see them spending endless hours crying about what they've lost as opposed to looking to a very bright future.

Hi, my friend Challenger. >What does it do to Halos OF? Imo Friedl is not 4th but 3rd OF, mainly takes part of rightfield & sometimes CF as backup of Trout. Not Upton but Winker covers LF. Winker's defense is average level (or just a little lesser) but better than Upton, and about offense no need to explain. Adams will come up to roster as 4th (& defensive) OF. >How do Reds replace Farmer? He backs up so many positions. Oops, sorry to forget it. In this trade I feel Halos can add velazquez. He can play both middle-infield positions, 3B & all OF positions (but his offense is so far from Farmer). >Lodolo, Greene, Detmers, Mahle, Gutierrez and Sanmartin will play. Reds also have Ashcraft I just thought of this cool rotation. I wish if Halos had this. lol. But even if it's not Halos' pitchings, I felt I want to see these young guns play in the same squad. >and are positioned to compete for a WS championship this year. Yep. Exactly. Not "for future" but "win-right-now" mode squad Halos will have. I really really really want Trout to get the ring !!! And he is already 30-years-old. Now's the time. No time to wait. Maybe I'll be OK for trade Ohtani if it is the best way for giving ring to Trouty. >This is a great trade for Reds who would have Marsh, Adell, Naquin in OF with Senzel, Siani and Aquino This is not good for 2022 or 2023, but in 2024 not only Adell but also Marsh will become 30+HR/100+RBI guy, I believe. If Trout is 27-years-old now, I never hit an idea to lose both of them. But our Hero is 30yrs old. Elite SP, all-star bat, fine SS, and 1 young & talented OF in spite of Adell & Marsh (=Friedl)...it may be worthy to lose both of them if Halos wanna win right now.

I’d like to add 1 more starter to your young guns rotation. Roki Sasaki - NPB player, who threw 16 fastballs of over 100miles/h within 2 innings (Maximum 101.5miles/h). And he can throw slider, maximum 95miles/h. Imo he is "Japanese deGrom". Please note that, he's just 20-years-old but is already at AAAA level (=NPB). His team is famous in Japan that they're always ready to allow their players to go to MLB by posting. I really hope him to join Lodolo, Greene & Detmers. How fantastic ! hahaha lol.
