TheWatShot Posted July 28, 2022 Report Share Posted July 28, 2022 I keep foolishly hoping the Tigers might somehow trade Cabrera to the Yankees. Maybe next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take proven results over potential any day of the week.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, they COULD quit being cheap bastards and re-sign him. Go to Votto and see if he's willing to defer some of his contract, a-la Bobby Bonilla.

I just don't see paying a starting pitcher huge money if they don't even pitch 200 innings any longer. It is to dangerous to give huge money to a 30 year old pitcher especially for small market teams. If they are smart like TB who does a great job of scouting and developing young players they can keep a pipeline of young players from their system. When those young guys get to free agent year then trade them for more prospects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If ownership is cheap, sell the team. Cardinals are not a big market team but they have owners who want to win. You shouldn’t buy a team to make a yearly profit, you buy it to make money when you SELL the team. If you don’t have the liquidity to spend the $$ get out. Cheap ownership is the Reds issue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what they've always been competitive despite being in a smaller market. They're the team that developed the "farm system" back in 1919. Branch Rickey was a genius... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheap ownership is the Reds issue. Everybody should want to model themselves after the Rays. Seemingly everything working against that franchise: small market in a region full of transplant, largely disinterested fans, ugly indoor stadium, same division as Boston and New York, and a low payroll that more or less guarantees any star they happen to draft and develop will be purchased by someone with more money when he hits free agency. But the Rays just keep finding ways to win in spite of all that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand his strike outs are high... but.. the shift has made a lot of LHB change their swings quite bit. Seems like he should have a ton of balls that eat up 2B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
