SONNY GRAY FOR TAYLOR TRAMMELL?

We've talked about the fact that the Reds like Sonny Gray and that's good.  After all, the Yankees want to get rid of him.  But that rumor happened a few weeks ago and then it was quiet.  Well, the New York Post has this nugget on who the Yankees would like in exchange of Gray. I just wonder if the Reds will make that deal. From the looks of it... nope!

"The Yankees asked the Reds for outfielder Taylor Trammell, whom MLB.com has ranked as the 17th-best prospect in the majors. As you would expect, Cincinnati was not interested in that conversation."

Trammel is a stud. But clearly talks have broken down and I'm sure the conversation was something like...

Nick Krall: "Are you kidding me Brian? Do you think I'm stupid?"

Brian Cashman: "No... I think that Gray is good for you guys."

Nick Krall: "Buh-Bye A-hole"

Brian Cashman: "Oh come on..."

So now we wait.  The reports are there are 11 teams interested in Gray. The question is, how hard is Cashman going to push to try to get a top prospect for the guy? Hey, he has to try, but sooner or later a bag of balls would make more sense.
