I do wish they would get another elite pitcher but Keuchel is the only one that is decent left and he is not worth the cost.  Kluber may work but the Reds would lose Senzel and I think even if Senzel plays CF well, he moves to 2nd base when Gennett is let go.  Trammell likely will be in the Majors in 2020 in CF.  But his arm strength is not great.  

But Reds.com says Reds may trade Senzel or Trammell along with Barnhart to get Realmuto and that is Foolish.  He really isn't that much better than Barnhart, not to trade all that.  Glove placement ?  Barnhart is a Gold Glove winner, just as good or better on defense.  Barnhart also puts up better hitting numbers than most of today's catchers. DON'T MAKE THIS TRADE.
