| Cueto (L), Cespedes (R) |
Dave Cameron of the authoritative
FanGraphs.com website suggests
an interesting—and mutually beneficial—deal between the Red Sox and Reds. Both
Yoenis Cespedes and
Johnny Cueto will become free agents after this season—at similar $10.5 million salaries in 2015. Great American Ballpark is perfect for right-handed power hitters like Cespedes, Cueto is a legitimate top-of-the-rotation starter, and Boston already has a surplus of outfielders. It all makes sense. However, since Cueto has more value, Cameron suggests an
expanded deal—perhaps a cheap
Allen Webster going west
for an expensive Cincinnati bullpen arm like
Sean Marshall.
