Honestly, there's not really any trade value in Senzel or Newman.
Senzel hasn't shown he's worth investing in as a potential long-term starter, and he only has 2 more seasons after this of arbitration.
Newman is in a little better position than Senzel but he has just 2024 for his final arb year.

Barrero might be in a similar boat, although he's not even in arb yet.
He is 25 years old though and has had a terrible bat his entire time in the MLB though, so I'm not sure there's much value there either.

At this point, probably best to just keep any of these guys as utility depth guys until their contracts run out.
