If you trade a guy on the big-league roster, you're also having to backfill for that player. It's not as easy as one for one.
The Reds might backfill India's departed offensive production with the presumptive returns to health for the full season of Matt McLain, TJ Friedl, Jeimer Candelario.
The Reds also don't have anything close to the financial flexibility to take on much contract heft in a deal, which rules out an otherwise potentially perfect fit.
If there's one intriguing possibility to watch, it might be the idea of the Reds doubling down on the pitching they already strengthened.
