Teams simply don't trade players like Senzel for prospects very often. If the Reds were to trade him, they need impact players who are proven. I mean at some point we could offer a trade package so overwhelmingly over Senzel's surplus value that the Reds would have no choice but to make such a trade, but that would be pretty dumb of us to do and AA would never do such a thing.
