The great Indians staff is over. Kubler injured. Carrasco in life and death situation. Bauer to Reds
The Reds however now have one of the great staffs in baseball. All-Stars Castillo, Gray, Bauer with Disco, Roark and Wood who has been an All-Star. The day isn't over. They may trade Roark or Wood. Either way, Reds have a great pitching staff to make a run at this thing in last 2 months. The Reds are still in striking distance with an All-Star Staff like Indians had.
This is the most healthy good pitcher Reds have traded for since Tom Seaver. The Reds young outfielders made Puig a trade option. Senzel, Winker, Van Meter, Ervin and add in Dietrich and add in Lorenzen who can spot play in OF. Again, the trade day isn't over yet.
That the Reds got Bauer tells me at end of trade day the Reds will have a team to go after play-offs THIS YEAR, the last 2 months. They are in striking distance with a team like this. Especially if Castillo wins today and Reds win Pirates series making Brewers, Rockies, Pirates 3 in a row.
