This one will not work for the Indians. Aquino is a flash in a pan one month player profiting from the juiced ball. Siri would likely not make the Indians 40 man roster as he has not shown that he can hit and the Indians already have 9 outfielders on their 40 man roster. Senzel's injury history concerns me. Also his rather mediocre 2019 also concerns me. Also, Cleveland has 2B, 3B, and CF already spoken for in 2020. Is asking Senzel to learn another position, corner outfield, good to place on a young player struggling to adjust to major league pitching. I don't believe that it is. Just too many concerns for me on Nick Senzel. This would also open up a hole at SS for the Indians. It also sounds like Senzel will not be ready for the start of 2020. The Indians will not trade for an injured player as the main piece in a trade. If any Senzel, Lindor trade were to happen, which I seriously doubt, it would take better secondary pieces that what were listed above to make it happen. Greene or Lodolo, Galvis, and another solid piece would have to be part of the trade which the Reds would likely not do.
