Personally, I think Votto needs to publicly voice his disapproval of what the Reds' FO is doing here. I went over to a reds message board and a poster said in the trade machine that the Reds got the best of this trade. It said the machine rejected the trade because it had Seattle giving up to much in this trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, he may or may not even work out. At some point you have to rely on proven talent. The Reds are letting Winker go just as he is entering into his prime and getting nothing proven back in return. That's insanity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rico Posted March 14, 2022 Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 IMO, the Reds traded Winker just to dump Geno's salary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC2345 Posted March 15, 2022 Report Share Posted March 15, 2022 The player to be named later it the Reds deal from yesterday is going to be one of about 5 players. The M’s have given the Reds a list of about 5 players that they can scout and evaluate and then pick which one they want. They have 2 months to decide who they are going to choose but could pick at any time between now and then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing Jesse Winker isn't on that list. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jv1972iu Posted March 17, 2022 Report Share Posted March 17, 2022 Meanwhile, the Dodgers pay Freeman $163m for 6 yrs. That's the third year straight where they've given a player a $100m contract. The small market teams struggle to compete with that kind of spending no matter what anyone says. Just my opinion. But baseball has lots of problems.

I know the Reds fans on here are ticked and they should be.....but my/our Cubs are just ticking me off right now. Castellanos to Phillies along with Schwarber.....at least they are trying to be competitive. Ricketts can say all he wants there is no spending restrictions but every action says otherwise.

I took a look at deal just now. It's 3 years but Correa has opt outs after this year so this might just end up being a 1 year deal....but to your point. The Twins going out and getting Correa/Gray at least shows effort by ownership. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No reason the Cubs should ever be outbid by the Twins. If this is a guy they actually want and think can accelerate the rebuild, they should have gotten him signed. I'm sure the Ricketts will continue to cry poor though. I really hope they don't get that Chelsea soccer team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
