You're looking at $25+ mill APY for a true ace SP.
If the Reds are going to have an ace, it will have to be someone who is brought in from the minors and plays here before hitting FA.

Don't need a true bonafide ace. Just need to add a legit proven #2-#3. An addition similar to when they added Sonny Gray or Mat Latos. Then need to hope for one of the other guys they have already to develop into one next year to be their third.

Then add a #4-#5 type that you can rely on to eat some innings (similar to the Tanner Roark addition) for a 6 man rotation.
