Basically they were saying that teams will get into a bidding war over the number one guy.

I'd love to keep Cueto, but I just don't think it is possible.  This team is better than some people here think, but it is not going to compete for anything this year without Bailey and Mesaroco.

I could also see Chapman getting traded.  He is one of the most dominating players the reds have had in many many years, but I think closers that just pitch 70 innings a year are a little overvalued.

I saw that too.  They claim Cueto will being in quite a haul.  Wonder what the Reds will be  looking for in return.  The farm system seems to be loaded with pitching prospects, so one would think it would be position players.  Question is--what positions?
My vote would be for guys who make contact and don't strike out constantly.
