Reds 'kicking tires' on a couple of Guardians?

[CJD]

Both players are in the final year of control, so if the Guardians view it as mostly a cost saving trade on their part (i.e. the prospect capital is minor), I think bringing in proven, quality bats is a really good idea.

I don't want to go into the season hoping Marte, CES, Candelario, and McLain all come back fully healthy and ready to play on day 1. We need multiple, quality back up plans if we hope to make a run at the post season this year.
