Is Mark Reynolds plus Ichiro enough to get Longoria?

I wouldn't do this deal, I feel you're giving up too much. Reynolds isn't off the best start, but at the end of the year, he'll offer very good numbers in every category except batting average. As for Ichiro, he's about as consistent as they come. You're losing two solid starters and getting just one solid starter in return. Besides, you don't have any other third basemen on your roster so while you're fixing shortstop, you're opening a hole at third base, I'd rather just have Furcal at shortstop. As for any other possible deals, your outfield is very solid, so I'd probably trade one of your starters there. Sizemore and Victorino aren't off to great starts so you probably shouldn't trade them, I'd shop around Lind or Suzuki, target Jeter, Rollins (once he's healthy), Zobrist, or Reyes (you might be able to get him for cheap).
