Sorry, Kevin, I hate to break it to you but the Reds suck. The only two teams that they are ahead of in the Wild Card after 102 games are the Pirates and the Marlins.
Trading Puig gives at bats to VanMeter who is second on the team in BA right now behind Ervin, who also needs more at bats. All they are doing by keeping Puig is keeping his at bats steady for his new team next year. I'm sure that he would be sat down and talked to about coming back before they trade him.
It's not like you can't sign them as a Free Agent after you trade them. But, even with that said, I would be SHOCKED if Puig re-signs in small market Cincinnati. They can't throw big money at anybody as long as Votto is still under contract and that's what it would take to keep him in Cincinnati.
I think we are over valuing Roark . . . I don't think any team is looking to add him at the deadline.
