I'd be shocked if he does.

Pacers will be fine. It sounds like LeVert will be back close to the start of the season. Warren got good news in his last evaluation and they will know more about him in 2 1/2 weeks.

He does not have an offer

I’ve heard people say they expect Hooks to drop in ranking soon and I’ve heard there’s question marks about him in consistency and effort.

Reds LHP pitcher Reiver Sanmartin will make his MLB debut today against the Pirates taking Wade Miley's spot in the rotation. Sanmartin had a 10-2 record and a 3.32 ERA in 25 appearances (17 starts) this season at Triple-A Louisville and Double-A Chattanooga. He's getting a look as a rotation candidate moving forward prior to the end of the year. Side note he was acquired from the Yankees along with Sonny Gray for Shed Long. I think the Redlegs won that trade.

He's really not and the IU staff clearly doesn't think so either.

Lol I'm not and I don't think Grigson was a good GM. I just see a bad team that the media constantly told everyone was really deep and talented.

But the media told me that Ballard assembled a deep team and that he was the best GM in the league and Frank is a great play caller. The Indy media can’t be wrong 😂

Yeah the Reds are done but they found a way to win and I don’t want to see them just rollover to end the year.

Big NIL money was supposedly on the table which isn’t surprising for a hometown kid

Committed to Louisville

I think you missed the joke

The first 3 will be interesting. Senzel I think could be used as a trade piece but I also wouldn´t give him away as he could still be a flexible utility player the poor guy just can´t stay healthy.

I started looking at the Reds contract situation this morning since the Reds are not making the postseason. I kind of understand why they didn´t make a ton of moves this year because their contract situation is a mess overpaying certain players. Fans love praising Dick Williams but man he handed out some bad contracts granted at least he was trying to win and players just haven´t performed. Hopefully they can move one or 2 of those this off season and use that money someplace else.

The team has not been the same since Winker and Naquin both got hurt.

I'm convinced Woodson wants 2 guards in the 2023 class if it's possible.

Depends on the player and each rosters construction. The Angels wouldn't bat Ohtani lead and he has the 4th fastest home to 1st in baseball. With the Reds for example if they signed him this offseason he would never bat lead off because of India. With a team that doesn't have a traditional lead off option then I could see them putting him there since he seems to have a knack for producing better in that spot.

This list shows guys sprint speeds and home to first times. A lot of the top guys just aren't good hitters or they have to much power and RBI production to bat lead off. https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/leaderboard/sprint_speed?year=2021&position=&team=&min=10&sort=6&sortDir=asc

Teams do when they can. Those speed guys have to be able to hit and get on base too.

They are also bringing back his staff which is a big deal. They had to keep Derrick Johnson as pitching coach and it sounds like they are.

David Bell 2 year extension. It would happen right when I said I thought the Reds would be moving on lol

Some of the issues that will be discussed include the DH, a salary cap, a salary floor, and of course salary distribution between the players and the owners.

I noted that DE production might be more on Flus. That position isn't as big an issue but he has thrown a lot of draft picks at the position. LT is still tbd although Fisher should fix that. However he did not address the backup tackle spot knowing Fisher wouldn't be 100% at the start of the season. Signing Tevi, Holden, Davenport, and Pryor was a prayer and not a plan. Pryor is more of a guard and Fries was a draft pick and he's also a guard. All it takes is one bad offensive lineman and it can throw off the entire line.

He has drafted multiple DE's that contribute about as much as I do. Fries is a G and not a tackle. If you don't see that he has issues fixing holes at certain spots I can't help you but those spots are a big reason this team is 0-2.
