Do the Reds really want to trade Jay Bruce? I think their hands are tied by BP and have to cut payroll, but it'd be better for the team if Brandon were gone.

This organization is building for the not too distant future (2018). Jay will be 31 and could be one of the veteran presences a young talented team needs, along with Joey, Homer, and Devin (if he can get/stay healthy). BP has no place in the 2018 Reds. Duvall has a hold on LF. Other than those veterens mentioned, there are several question marks with E Suarez at 3B, Peraza at 2B.,CF as I think Billy Hamilton will be a back-up OF and off the bench pinch runner They have other youngsters in OF (Right and Left look much more loaded than Center). I see the first round pick switching to 1B and backing up (eventually taking over) for Joey or pushing Suarez.. There will be serious questions on this team at SS, 2B, possibly CF and 3B adding to the health question at catcher - Can the Reds afford to go completely young in the outfield and relatively young infield together with a young pitching staff.

MLPPA has struck gold with guaranteed contracts, but it is forcing the Reds to keep BP beyond his worth and lose a stud like Jay Bruce. I understand trading Zack a little better because they have young infielders who can field. Hitting from the SS is a luxury and I'm fine with the young SS learning to hit as long as the D is there and there is a hitting CF.

As a Reds fan I look to the future with a ton more potential than the present, but the only guarantees are contracts of players they can't trade due to the 10 and 5 rule. The success and health are not guaranteed for any of the youngsters.

Thanks for reading my long winded plea to keep Jay and Rant about Brandon Phillips.

I have enjoyed watching both BP and Bruce play for the Reds but both have seen better days as players and in a market like the reds can not afford to lock up players looking for long term deals heading into mid 30's. It is biting them with Votto and BP. Bruce will demand lots of dollars and that means lots of years. The reds are at least 2 years away from contending again. Paying Bruce big money on a rebuild is not something I would do. Winker is being groomed to take his spot right now.

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

Why would he? He stands to get a big payday on open market playing for a team he chooses.

You're still spewing this garbage? Just a heads up for those who don't know your history of insider info on the reds:

This trade will be announced tonight or this weekend (I know I know hate me w/e) but it will be announced I will leave this board tonight if the trade is not announced and not return in till it is announced this weekend and if for some slim chance it doesn't happen I will not return and honor your deal.
^^ That one is my personal favorite.
