Reds in trade talks for Bieber/Glasnow

[CJD]

I'm with you on not wanting any of those top 5 in the deal, but to get quality, you have to give up some as well. Wouldn't be too upset if it lands us a dependable TOR arm with either control or an immediate 2-3 year extension. 

Oof, Noelvi Marte is going to be a star in this game. He's not even really a prospect anymore. He showed he can hit in the majors and is good on the basepaths and on defense. In 123 PA, he batted .316/.366/.456 and ended the season on a 16 game hit streak (and he reached base safely in 22 straight games). Trading him for a rental like Glasnow or Bieber would be a painful overpay.

You mentioned Jonathan India. He'd actually be a better offer for Glasnow or Bieber than Marte would be. He is not an elite player like Glasnow or Bieber, but he has 2 more years of control than either of them. I could get behind that trade.

Then we could keep our infield as CES, McLain, Elly, Marte.
