In a real world, it would be Votto and Moose long gone.
It would be typical to continue to punish players for playing well. The worst thing you can do for The Reds is play well. That is a sure way to get traded. It is huge that Drury can play many positions, and Farmer can play all positions. They are low budget players to have on the team in 2023. In a world that makes sense, Drury and Farmer would be back in 2023 and it would be Votto and Moose getting shipped out.
You don't get it. Drury is on a fluke hot streak. He is overvalued right now. That is the smart time to trade him.
Drury will be 30 next month. He has almost 2000 career at bats with a career .730 OPS. That is who he is. He is not a guy that will produce a 35 HR and a .838 OPS for a full season. Better t trade him for prospects while he is overvalued than try to build around a 30+ year old player with a .730 career OPS.
BTW kind of funny that you think in the "real world" teams would trade for a guy hitting .213 getting paid $25 million this year.
