Reds after Trevor Bauer?

No, trading him was the right idea. They should've gone after prospects for when they're actually good again 3-5 years down the line instead of pretending that they're going to be competitive next year.

IMO they've painted themselves into a corner, because if they're going to be serious about selling us on how good the rotation is going to be next year (for a one year window) then they need to put their money where their mouth is and go out there this offseason looking to make the type of moves that will put them on a championship level. They're not going to do that. If we're lucky, they might do just enough to try to convince us all that they've got a shot at grabbing a wildcard spot if things fall the right way (which they're already doing as evidenced by the "oh man if Wood/Bauer/Gray return to the form they were in a couple of years ago, watch out!" talk you're already hearing).

Hell, I wouldn't be shocked if they don't do anything this offseason. They may already be content in convincing themselves they've done enough for next year.
