Also, the Castellinis probably don't want to start trading players until at least after the All-Star Game to keep selling tickets. If the Reds stay around .500 and within a winning streak of a WC spot, they might not even trade Cueto or Leake and just get a draft pick when they leave by free agency.
This. Although the bullpen is abysmal, they probably won't trade anyone as long as they hover around .500 and stay in the WC hunt.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
