Possibility of a 3 team deal, also with Arizona and Acab (no, don't get excited, not for Upton, or anyone that can actually play in the majors now).
Sounds to me like Choo and ACAB are gone, we get the worst center fielder in history and some A-ball pitchers. Shapiro 101.

Sorry my Buckeye brothers. There is simply no way to spin this positively.
The only other everyday CF in baseball worse than Stubbs is Maybin and that's a close call. Dude is a fucking horror show with a bat in his hand against anyone who throws with their right arm.

Well, at least make good use of it...from the season you had last year, taking away Stubbs and replacing him with a reasonable bat with some good OF skills should have you challenging for the 116 game wins record.

If this trade goes down, Shapironetti are proper [censored]ing us on purpose. No other explanation.

Agreed, Stubbs looks the part but has seen three straight years of SLG/BA slippage and Gregorius doesn't seem to be anything but a dime-a-dozen utility guy.

If used properly (i.e. don't have Dusty Baker filling out the lineup card) Stubbs has value. He would be fine as a 4th OF/platoon vs LH pitching/defensive replacement/pinch runner. If he is the everyday CF he has negative value because he cannot hit RH pitching. Not even a little fucking bit.
P.S. Don't let the speed fool you, he's a functional retard on the basepaths. He gets on base so infrequently he gets too hyped up and runs himself into outs but again, it remains to be seen how much of that is due to the influence of Dusty "keep the defense on it's toes" Baker.
Gregorius upside depends on who you listen to. I've read equal amounts of both futility infielder and above average MLB starting SS. Time will tell.

Us Tribe fans have some big shoes to fill compared to the malice so eloquently expressed by the Reds' fans in their season thread.
