All things considered, Suarez might not be a bad risk with that contract. I don't know much about him beyond his numbers and that he came up as a SS.
It seems like the prospect cost to acquire him would be significant.
My guess is that the Reds see him as a cornerstone rather than a trade asset because they don't seem like one of the franchises that likes to do clever things. But their depth chart is a bit weird, so who knows.

Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...
Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?
I don’t know....we traded Simmons, Kimbrel, and Wood in BONEHEAD deals...so it happens. Might have a better chance of getting struck by lighting, but a sucker is born every day.
Think of it...we traded the guys above and have one major leaguer (at this point) to show from it. Sure, Muller and Riley “might” pan out, but this is the middle of 2018 and so far we have Newk from three separate trades of stars from 2015. That.Is.Horrible.
Phillips down to Gwinnett, Folty activated for start tonight
Oh, I agree with you lol. Was just jokingly serious. Bad trades do happen. Super unlikely. Most of the proposed trades on here are laughable. When you think about what we received for the best closer in the game and the best defensive player of maybe his generation...man...it still kills me. We could have traded Kimbrel at any deadline for a King’s ransom.
Just playing devils advocate and saying maybe we get lucky. It would be about the same as me saying...maybe we will win the WS this year. It won’t happen...but 2% maybe.
