With Covid & Black Lives Matter postponed games, maybe more to come, MLB Season is on Shaky Ground. I don't know how wise trades going into September are. This is not a normal season or a normal trade deadline, if there is one. I think Reds having enough problems tinkering with new players to make trades. Reds are still in play-off hunt. I would like to see some young guys in September such as Garcia and some Stephenson at catcher in September as they brought up Bench late in 1967 season. Reds are putting more into Minor Leagues than other teams who dumped minors in Covid 2020. I think it's a smart move Reds didn't dump Minors but picked up players other teams dumped in not paying Minors.
I think major trades in September is not very smart. It's too late. A player on the cheap that goes free agent after season isn't here long. Reds are trying to put together Team Chemistry as if April going into May due to Covid missed months. MLB could shut season down any day. I like the idea of hitting Cubs, Cardinals this week with team we have. We could use Senzel back when he is off Covid thing. Castellanos, Winker, Senzel would make a good hitting OF if he comes back.
I'm not big on Covid Trade Deadline ideas, too late to build chemistry, THIS is our Team. Go beat Cubs & Cardinals. This is NOT a normal season. I think in 2021 it gets semi-normal, especially when a good vaccine comes out. I think, per Doctors not Politicians, that 2021 Reds can get players into a training camp and a more regular long season to see who goes, who stays. Fans love to talk trades. I say Covid has team messed up enough. Heck, any more postponed games and MLB may have to shut 2020 down.
No Trades...Beat Cubs tonight....Keep thinking play-offs....but don't be surprised if it all gets stopped.
