I think we're pretty much looking at the team.
Trading Bradley Jr. is probably a bad move. He simply won't be able to return his value in SP: no one's giving us a 4.8 fWAR pitcher with four years of control remaining (i.e., Quintana's quality) for our 4.8 fWAR CF with four years of control remaining, because defense still isn't valued properly on the market, while FIP and IP are.
I think we should expect the obvious: Porcello, Price, Pomeranz, Rodriguez as the rotation, with Buchholz and Wright bouncing between the SP5 and swingman role. That projects pretty well. I think the real pitching excitement will be in 2018-19, as Groome, Kopech and Raudes start to arrive.
Infield: Sandoval should get a chance at 3B, and I bet Farrell — who seems done with Shaw — gives him the nod. I also expect him to do at least decently. (Why do I think this? His reduced weight will help his agility on defense, while his repaired shoulder will help his RH swing, which had been the main source of his declining numbers. Even in his unwatchable 2015 he still posted a .750ish OPS from the left side in spite of a .280 BABIP.) Moncada should play 3B at Pawtucket with the aim of displacing Sandoval ASAP. Ideally, Sandoval's good, Moncada's also good, and Sandoval keeps Moncada in AAA until the Panda is either dealt at the deadline or rosters expand. Alternately, if Moncada's ready, you deal Sandoval in the offseason.
The middle infield is set.
Hanley stays at 1B. I would like to see a trade for Votto, whom I think is an amazing hitter and could be had for a very reasonable price. Votto sucks defensively, so he and Hanley split time 1B/DH 75/25. Basically, I think Edwin's deal is going to get so crazy, that Votto's deal will look reasonable in comparison. Votto is owed $25 a year until 2023, and we'd likely have to pick up a team option on 2024 to bring him over. But he combines good power with amazing pure hitting in ways that remind me of Manny, and, well, that catches my attention. It all depends on whether the rebuilding Reds want out from under the deal — I could see arguments both ways from their perspective. We could assume almost all of the money and give them a good prospects or two, too, so we can make a very strong offer if they're interested at all. (Sam Travis would make some sense.)
If Edwin's deal isn't insane, maybe just sign Edwin, or, more modestly, Carlos Santana, who would provide an affordable 800-850 OPS and lots of opportunities for fun game thread jokes.
OF: I think we have a four-man OF set, with Young taking PA from Bradley and Benintendi against lefties.
C: Leon and Vazquez sharing time in MLB; Swihart in AAA refining his receiving. I think there's a chance that Leon could figures something out in the offseason about how he was pitched, so I wouldn't write him off, but I think there's a fair chance that Swihart displaces him by the second half.

Bench: I think Holt is dealt for a prospect in spring training to a team who has a season-ending injury to a starter. Marco becomes the new Holt. Vaz/Young/Marco/Shaw.
Bullpen: Kimbrel, Uehara (1/$8m?), Kelly, Ross, Santiago Casilla (1/$7m?), Scott, Wright/Buch...
