Peraza is a nice piece, but he's basically a slap hitting infielder that can't take a walk. A piece, but in a deal for Frazier, I'd want more. Dixon couldn't hit in AAA and Schebler looks like another Chris Heisey.
If this is what they're getting for their biggest trade piece, it's gonna be a long, long rebuild for the Reds. Chapman's is Typhoid Mary right now and any Bruce or Phillips trade will be salary dumps mores that talent acquisition.
We'd better hope this team drafts it's ass off for the next two years or plans on spending every bit of the pay flex they manage to dump on good everyday eight players.
Jim Bowden said both the Braves and Dodgers look at Peraza as a utility guy and that the Reds should've just taken the prospects that the Dodgers got in the deal.
