Not at my game right now but maybe Tyler Austin (depending on his potential) or a middle infield prospect, maybe Gumbs? What kind of prospects are you looking to get for Holliday?

Alright so we have Crain to Boston for Kalish, Rios to SF for Escobar and Villalona, and Garza to LAA for Richards and Cron ( edited to Catcher as a secondary position?)

For Holliday I'd ideally like to strengthen my bullpen or add some middle infield depth. Or, and I doubt he will get me even half as much value, I may try to trade Jon Jay instead and keep Holliday in left, Taveras in center, and Craig in right.

I'd look at Totte's proposed trade to SF

Yes, it's hard to imagine me getting anything more than two B prospects for him, whom I hope will develop into starters, but that's never a surety.

Perhaps two mid- to low-Bs and a C at most. I've contemplated pursuing a B POT CF, a B POT SP and a C POT RP. Excepting high B players, is that a reasonably fair talent distribution?

There's nobody on the team I could use in the Cards' lineup, though the bullpen might offer some help, if the arms are affordable and in the mid-80s. I'd have to check.

In my M's franchise, I am currently in first place in the A.L. West at 34-26 and Cincinnati (1st place in N.L. Central) made me this offer:

Reds want:
SS Brendan Ryan (74 OVR, C Pot, 30 YO) hitting just .125 in 36 games (96 AB) with 1 HR and 7 RBI mainly coming off of the bench.
RP Kameron Loe (sent to AAA due to lack of work) (78 IVR, C Pot, 31 YO) has an ERA of 0.96 in 6 appearances in AAA. Had an ERA of 3.38 in Seattle before demotion.

Reds offering:
CF Yorman Rodriguez (67 OVR, B Pot, 20 YO) he is hitting .300 in AAA with 9 HRs and 51 RBIs and 6 SBs in 60 games.

The M's could use some youth in the OF and he seems like a decent fit. I have called up Nick Franklin who I moved to SS and he is tearing it up offensively so Ryan is expendable.

The trade seems pretty fair to me, but I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts?

Y-Ros is blocked by Hamilton and Choo so with the Reds contending, I could see them going out to get Ryan and Loe for him. Do the deal
I tell ya
