Did Cleveland rob the Reds?

In 99 AB’s, 2 HR’s, 12 RBI and .253 AVG.               Bauer is 1-4 with an 8.40 ERA and will cost a ton next year.                    Here’s what’s gonna sting in the future. The Reds gave up a 6’6 LH       Starter that would be under control for a long time.                            Moss is 4-1 with a 1.65 ERA and the Indians weren’t long promoting him to AAA. He doesn’t throw a fireball but has a nice slider and change up. He’s projected to be a #3-5 Starter. This looks like a trade of desperation. Bauer pitches a lot of innings, if he isn’t getting blown out. He’s had one Ace type year, that doesn’t make him an Ace!

I've lost most of the hope I had that Bauer and/or Wood are gonna be any help. Yes in the big picture it's still a small sample size but these aren't two guys just coming up outta the minors.

I sure hope the Reds are in the market for another top shelf starting pitcher this offseason. We don't have a lot behind Castillo and Gray besides question marks and 4th,5th types.
