The only issue I'd have with trading him for even a 1st rounder is that we aren't in Cincinnati Reds mode right now. We don't need to trade our guys for picks, if anything, we should be trading some of our future picks in an attempt to bring in someone that will make a difference this year.
This team is built to contend for a championship right now, we aren't building for the future. Proven solid players are a hotter commodity for this team than future prospects IMO.
Gio will be on the field more than your usual "just a backup" type of player. Let's not pretend he's going to be riding the bench unless somebody is injured, he's going to be a role player in this offense.
