I'd have no issue with the Reds trading Puig as long as they get a major league ready player in return for him. Not some low A ball guy who might make it, but a player who will help next season.
The reasoning is kinda simple. Ervin is showing he can start, Senzel is the real deal and Winker is a solid OFer as well. Puig is a damn nice bat to have, but he's gone at the end of the season for free anyways. I'd move him for a piece that allows you to remain in the division hunt next season and let the other 3 guys start in the OF and avoid the platooning and trying to get everyone enough ABs
I like the idea more of extending Puig and trading Winker. Winker has less power, less speed and isn’t as good defensively. It would have to be a reasonable deal though.
