So if I am the Reds I would be hesitant to trade some of the excess OF's just in case he leaves after this year. Bingo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, I am concerned about 2020!!!!!! Honestly. Probably. The new TV network $ is coming in. Just saying I wouldn't be surprised to see Nick C opt out unless he falls in love with Cincy and Reds fans. He mentioned more than a few times he spent so much time playing in empty ballparks like Detroit that Wrigley/Cubs fans were like heaven to him.

IU Scott Posted January 28, 2020 Report Share Posted January 28, 2020 I saw where there was a 3 way trade talked about but fell apart and it was between the Reds, Indians and the Dodgers. I guess Lindor would have went to the Dodgers and Seager to the Reds and the Indians would get prospects.. Also the reds talked to the Indians about Lindor but the Reds had trouble that Lindor would be making 25 Million in two years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted January 28, 2020 Report Share Posted January 28, 2020 Just now, rico said: Hope Dusty can get that title...well, sort of I'm torn on him. Always have been. Really like how he manages professionals. Let's them do their thing. On the other hand he ruined 2-3 of the best young arms in baseball with Cubs. Tough one. I think I'm leaning towards him having success.....as long as it's not at Cubs expense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUFLA Posted January 28, 2020 Report Share Posted January 28, 2020 I'm torn too. Good guy...good BASEBALL guy, but a little long in the tooth, and like S6 not sold on his handling of a pitching staff... This will be the 5th team he's managed...he's only had an overall under .500 record with one...guess who that is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So instead of 28.5 back in their own division they'll be 17 back this year? Lots of chirping at 35th and Shields.

Seeking, here is an article that I was basing my comment on. It's from MLB and they list 9 winners in the off season. They show the White Sox at #1. Did not see the Cubs on that list, sorry. BTW, Reds were at #3. https://www.mlb.com/yankees/news/mlb-offseason-winners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
