My opinion: I wouldn't want to trade Ender unless we were blown away. I think Acuna will outgrow CF and profile better already as a RF. We also don't have much CF depth other than Acuna, Pache, and possibly Seymour. (Waters could be an option down the road)
Now, with that being said and after looking over the teams that could use a top flight CF (your list above was spot on) like Inciarte, I just didn't like our options. Then, I thought of an off-the-wall type trade that could make sense. Here's the thing, I don't know if I'm overvaluing Ender or if this other team would even consider it but i'll throw it out there anyway...
Atlanta trades:
Ender Inciarte
*Could throw Vizcaino to sweeten the pot if needed
Houston trades:
Alex Bregman
Houston could then slide Springer back to RF, Josh Reddick to LF, and Gonzalez to UTL. Is Bregman too valuable? Just asking...
