Allowing Marte to play 2nd?

Reds just signed Nick Castellanos, and are rumored to be shopping Senzel.

Rejected CF from a losing team with mediocre numbers across the board? No, thanks. We should be aiming for the likes of Castellanos, not the rejects cast aside in favor of him.

Castellanos signed 4 years, $64 Million contract with the Reds - no, the Dbacks were not going to sign him, nor able to.

Sorry the Dbacks don't have a $200 million payroll to build your fantasy team.

Trying to come up with REALISTIC scenarios.

I still think Starling Marte is a very realistic scenario. So is Kevin Pillar or even Jarrod Dyson if we have to settle for mediocre. I don't want this team calling other teams' cast-offs the answer. That is a sure way to breed a losing culture.

I don't want to bring in a sub-par player at all, let alone give up assets for him, just because he is relatively young.

If we're going to apply that logic, let's trade Joel Payamps (also Age 25) for Max Scherzer.

Senzel is also coming off of a town labrum. Hard no.

Meanwhile, the reported package being offered by the Padres for Mookie Betts is either Manuel Margot or Josh Naylor, either Cal Quantrill or Joey Lucchesi, Wil Myers and some lower level prospects, with the Red Sox to cover a significant portion remaining on Myers' contract. The D-Backs can blow that package out of the water and barely make a dent in their farm system.
