I am thinking Six. But we might still keep 3-4 of our highest rated.If we traded for Mullins and Reynolds? Yeah we would honestly since that would cost us likely 8 of our top prospects plus some...

I would not care to lose Valera.Same here.
I wouldn't care to lose any of our upper level prospects, but I care a lot less to be an also ran for the next two years, until our best players are gone, which will mean two or three years after that.I would not care to lose Valera.

Agree in principle, but I’m going with what I’ve got and “begin the year” was the operative in the sentence.Looking for Bobby Bradley to start the season hitting #5 is a HUGE risk..
The man runs such extremes of hot & cold at the plate it creates problems for CLE & the opposition.
If he is cold opposing teams will not give Reyes anything close to the plate & then the next domino falls as Reyes starts to press at the plate.
Yes, the three plus. Which is what I took into consideration. If the process is not upsetting your stomach you’re likely not being realisticFor some reason I believe Bimbo told us the Pittsburgh asking price for Reynolds (alone) was all 3 of Espino/ Valera/ Rocchio along with 2 other prospects...
'No thanks' is the response from this corner of the peanut gallery.

Do you know how many games having a top five farm system is gonna win for us?
Zero
Only MLB production wins baseball games.

My line was drawn at Rocchio or the place where you’re searching for alternatives and hence the third club.
Nonetheless I was hoping to generate some play. This off-season is boring as hell.
I could get on board for a 1/2 step at catcher, but rather step forward and go after W.C from the Cubs in this case. Finding anyone who can split time/take time from Hedges is a fairly difficult ask without having to "pay" for it.@Criznit I lean toward half step trade for catcher and half step FA signing for OF. With these two additions you noticably make the team better, for a cheap price. But I don't really know what's out there on the catching market. Not exactly a good sign that Berto signed for so much. I'm not into paying full price for a long-term option when we have 2 options already in the system unless we trade one of them in the deal.
Look at Yepez's OBP then look at his numbers. He's ready for an opportunity, but that doesn't mean he'll find success or consistency at the highest level. Hell, there are plenty of veterans than waiver in their performances. Look no further than Carlos Santana and Eddie Rosario. There are not guarantees. Vientos is the same. His OBP is very good. Both of these guys' power is what we need.@CDAV45
I am all for the move with the Cardinals.. just a question of are they gonna help in 22? I don't think Yepez, Vientos etc will on paper... I don't think there as major league ready as you believe.
Yes, Eddie Rosario from the rightI could get on board for a 1/2 step at catcher, but rather step forward and go after W.C from the Cubs in this case. Finding anyone who can split time/take time from Hedges is a fairly difficult ask without having to "pay" for it.
1/2 step at outfielder.... Like Eddie Rosario?
You do realize you are essentially suggesting a regurgitation of last seasons starting lineup?
And I am fine with that for the most part.. We will likely be a non-playoff team, but we will get to keep most/all of our top prospects and some of them should get a chance to play in 2022 in this situation. If any of the young guys can step forward in 2022, we could end up formidable. Probably wont be until 2024-25 but who knows.
Walk on left, walk on right - walk in middle.....
