And it's not purely a matter of what you give up and what you receive. It's the timing of it. 

If we were 1 Ace away from contending for the World Series, I'd do this trade instantly.

But we aren't.

Especially since Wood, Roark, Puig, Kemp and Gennett will all be free agents next off season, so 2020 there is a real possibility we'd be FARTHER from contending than closer. 

If we are true contenders by the time Kluber's contract expires, we'd be lucky.

Senzel is vastly more likely to be part of the next great Reds team than Kluber is.

7 years of Senzel >>>>>>>>>> 3 years of Kluber.

I have to side with J Dawg here. Not to even mention the financial side of things, and the fact that pitchers are SOOOO risky. This is the type of move you make when you're contending, not desperate. I know they really want to mend some fences with the fans, but I think they've done a really good job at that up and to this point. Don't get to ballsy lol
