Nah I doubt it. He tore up the minors being one of and sometimes the youngest player in his teams league every other year, in his last 57 games he hit .283. There's no reason to think he won't hit well and he graded out the 3rd best SS in the AL in his 68 games on defense, However With Lindor and Kipnis and JRam can't really play 3B, so he is moveable.

He's better than Joe Wendle who brought back Brandon Moss, Better than Gregorious who brought back Choo.

I would probably do Ramirez for Zimmerman straight up. Even if Desmond comes back you can play Ramirez at 2B.

Though he's older, might be able to get Ryan Zimmerman from the Nats. No Guarantee that Desmond is there next year and Rendon is still hurt. Maybe Plouffe from MN? Doubt you wanna trade within the division though.

Depending on what the plus was, not sure what the reds really need

Well if they're not in contention this year, they're probably going full blown sell mode. They need a SS, which they'd get in Ramirez, maybe someone to replace Frazier (Chisenhall?) and a pitcher, maybe Trevor Bauer.

So something like Frazier (possibly + a reliever) for Ramirez, Bauer, & Chisenhall.

Bauer and Ramirez is an overpayment. Adding even more is overkill.

I was thinking something like Ramirez, maybe Chisenhall and NaQuin type deal.

I think Bauer + Ramirez is a fair price, but maybe I value Frazier more than you do.

I also don't think super highly of Bauer.

For reds maybe it is, but not for Cleveland. Frazier value already drops by leaving the reds ballpark and going to the Indians and probably dropping his HR from 25-30 to 16-20. Plus Bauer is our #3 Pitcher with low end #1 upside. Frazier isn't worth that much.
