I was just offered this trade...

Pat Burrell and Mark Reynolds for Ryan Howard and Andy Sonnanstine.

I'm puzzled. I need a 3B in a bad way, and I'm in first in BA, so that's not a concern. I just picked up Sonnanstine, so that's sort of a roster spot I didn't need.

I need the HR/RBI/Runs. Reynolds will also steal 4-5 more bases, so that's a plus.

Thoughts? Do I make this trade?

I don't trade Howard for Reynolds/Burrell. Nope.

If you want me to look at your team, post the team. Don't post a link to another site where the team is.
Have you given me all the info I need to judge your team? The number of teams in the league is a good start for the big overall questions.
Is your league H2H? Roto?
I don't know who's on your waivers. Don't just ask me who you should pick up. Give me names to choose from.
If you only have one team, post your team in your signature with the league parameters.
I don't know every single matchup for next week, so if you want me to choose a player for the following week and you think the matchups are important, tell me who they're facing.

Anticipating your shoot-down, I just countered with Howard and Sonnanstine for Dave Wright. I call him Dave instead of "David" because we're so close.

I think this is much better... I can slot D Lee in the 1B slot and still get good 1B production.

Yes, Dave/id Wright is better than Pat and Reynolds.
