I dunno. Senzel doesn't have near the value that Suarez does right now. I'm not talking about moving a valuable piece to get a solid rotation guy. I'm talking about moving a star to get a young hammer that could potentially anchor a rotation for the next 2 or 3 seasons.
Pitching is mega-expensive on the trade market. Mo Egger was referencing the Latos deal yesterday and pointed out that the Reds had to give up 3 future All-Stars to get him. That's the kind of package they'll likely have to give up to get an ace or near-ace.
