Word around the camp fire up North is the empty stands are ticking certain folks off. I expect some spending this winter. Hopefully we grab one of your guys as well! A lot of empty seats in STL too which doesn’t happen often. Hope they make some legit noise in the off-season. It’s like they thought just getting Arenado was enough lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of the core guys except for Castellanos are upcoming free agents. Castellanos has an opt out if he chooses to use it but he likes the team and city. The Reds also aren’t big on losing or trading popular players in their prime so I don’t think it’s a given that he leaves or even opts out since their are some uncertainty’s around this offseason.

Truthfully... NC would be taking a fair gamble to move on. He is a legit superstar for the Reds.. maybe wouldn't have that role everywhere. The stuff I can't stand about so many pro athletes is when you have a great situation (NC in Cinci as an example) and he's thriving! And getting paid $16 million a year.... how much is enough? Ya know? Some guys will go take $22 million a year and screw up a great situation (Pujols) on a team that can make a run for a team rebuilding... Why? Some understand this and play it smart.. others just.. Jesus. Stick where it's working. Lance Stephenson would be a great example of a mistake leaving as well.. you went to Charlotte man.

If Naquin leaves then there would two openings in the outfield Got down to Hilton Head a few hours ago and saw we have swept the Marlins.

Charlotte!!! You make a great point re Pujols. Honestly, when you factor in the taxes in CA versus MO, I think the numbers would work out pretty even. But the Cardinals probably lucked out because he really started to tail off the last 5 or 6 years. I do hope he signs a one day deal with STL and then retires. That’d be awesome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH, I really don't know how the Reds' FO feels about Senzel at this point. The CF spot could be the one Cincy might shop around for.
