After Jon Heyman reported yesterday that Nick Senzel was on the trade market, the Cincinnati Reds front office sort of silenced that in statements made to Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer. President of Baseball Operations Dick Williams said he expected Senzel to be on the roster for Opening Day.
I like what he brings to our club. He’s one of our own. He’s an impact, young offensive player. They don’t come along very often. The flexibility he brings to the club, attitude he brings.
It would make sense that teams would be asking for Senzel in trade – he’s got all kinds of value for the very reasons that Williams notes above.
