OmarComing25 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 They really think we'd give up Anderson for a rental? I could see it for Bruce though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Abreu Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 It's Bruce Levine. So that means we definitely aren't after Bruce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsoxhurt35 Posted July 31, 2015 Author Share Posted July 31, 2015 Anderson would be a piece for Puig not a rental. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank_Thomas Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 I think Bruce would cost to much. As it's been reported that the Reds wkuld trade Bruce for Zac Wheeler. I really don't want to give up Anderson in a trade, unless it for Puig. But that's just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would trade Wheeler for Bruce...doesn't mean the Mets were willing to and / or whether the Reds would take less than that (since we can presume that Wheeler hasn't yet been offered for Bruce). If you were to offer Anderson for Bruce (or Anderson and Beck), I think you probably have Bruce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 05:52 PM) I think I rather have Anderson For Bruce, I'd start my offers at prospects not named Anderson / Montas / Johnson(s) but I don't know that the Reds would do a deal without getting at least one of those guys. I would prefer a package built around Hawkins and Beck or Danish (who I'm not as high on as others). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsoxhurt35 Posted July 31, 2015 Author Share Posted July 31, 2015 @Ken_Rosenthal: Sources: #Mets trying to land #Reds’ Bruce. Also exploring other options. Wheeler most likely would go to CIN and maybe one other piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 I would totally trade Anderson straight up for Bruce, but I've also wanted Bruce ever since he had a bad 2014. I wanted to buy low on him because I knew he would revert back to his old self, and whallah, highest BB-rate and lowest K-rate of his career. Also on pace for 25+ HR, 90 RBI, about average defense. Has 2+ years left on his deal. I'd take Bruce for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 06:52 PM) I think I rather have Anderson  Of course, if the Reds are going to hold onto Chapman, Votto and also Frazier next season, why would they deal Bruce for something less than the return they want?  It's going to have to be Anderson or Montas, or there likely won't be any deal. They're probably not going to accept the likes of Micah Johnson or Courtney Hawkins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whisox05 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Sources: #Mets worked into night on trade for #Reds’ Bruce. Expectation among many in industry is that deal will happen. https://twitter.com/Ken_Rosenthal/status/627094860521164800 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank_Thomas Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Mets and reds getting close on Bruce: Â #Mets & #Reds are "pretty far along" on Jay Bruce deal, doing "due diligence on medicals" per @AdamRubinESPN. Latest: Â Â Bruce is good and all but now Grandy will be playing center which would be tough to watch as a met fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
