It's a gaping hole at one of the most important spots on the roster and the Reds are treating it like they are trying to find a third string catcher.

Where in the hell are the Barry Larkins, Paul O'Neils, and Eric Davises? Used to be they produced their own talent. I look at the roster and I don't like what I see. Hell I want Adam Dunn back.

johnsoniu Posted January 29, 2021 Report Share Posted January 29, 2021 Looks like Cube are set to sign Joc Pederson. Haven't seen $ yet, would suspect it to be a scooch under what Schwarbs signed for with the Nats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd imagine his ability to adequately man both spots was a major selling point for the Cubs. I see him as the everyday LF and a more than decent option in CF if Happ struggles.

johnsoniu Posted January 29, 2021 Report Share Posted January 29, 2021 Looks like Pederson is a 1 year deal worth $7 million and 500K worth of incentives. $3 mill less than Schwarbs deal with Nats. Cubs save a little cash and at the very least maintain a respectable OF while we wait to see the fallout when they blow it all up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stlboiler23 Posted January 29, 2021 Report Share Posted January 29, 2021 Some rumblings of Cards and Rockies opening back up the discussions around Arenado. Would think Cards would be central favorites if they can pull that off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted January 30, 2021 Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 Just now, IU Scott said: Well it looks like the Reds are going to fall behind even farther. Also it is sad that baseball is coming to this where teams pretty much have to sell off their great players. You either have to be great at player development and drafting well or you have to have big money. The problem with the Reds is that they have neither.

5fouls Posted January 30, 2021 Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 Well, I used to be an Arenado fan. The key word there is 'used'. SMH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted January 30, 2021 Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 Tip of the cap to Cardinals. They took it on the chin from 16-18 seasons but now seem to regain their edge. Regarding Arenado...seems like he finally got his wish to get out of Colorado. Can't believe they traded him and are sending $50M to the Cardinals to get rid of him.

Proud2BAHoosier Posted January 30, 2021 Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 Yanks pitching looks to be pretty good this year with the return of Luis Severino, and Domingo German. Plus with their recent additions of Kluber and Taillon, look out. And DJ signing a new contract helps too. I'm a happy Yanks fan..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted January 30, 2021 Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 Well the Reds just lost out on the last remaining SS free agent because Gregorious just signed with the Phillies. It can be frustrated being fans of small market teams or teams not willing to spend money on good players. Also I think the Arenado trade is not a good sign for baseball because the Rockies traded an elite talent for a bunch of prospects. The Cardinals also will get 50 million and the Rockies get guys you have no idea will ever pan out. As a Reds fan i have seen plenty of trades where we trade all stars and got absolutely nothing for them. At least in the NBA teams trade players like Harden they get NBA players back in return and not players from the g-league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't believe they traded him and are sending $50M to the Cardinals to get rid of him. Did they really take it on the chin? Sure they didn’t make the playoffs but they were still above .500 each of those years (won between 83 and 88 games). Haven’t had a losing season since 2007 (and even then only 6 games under .500). They’re a model of consistency even during the “down” years throughout the DeWitt era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not so much that the Reds are a small market team. they are a poorly managed small market team. Oakland can put a winning product on the field. So can Minnesota. Heck, it's not like St. Louis is a major market. Yet, they found a way to make a huge deal. Reds management just sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that the reds player development and drafting are horrible. As for Minnesota and Oakland, yes they can compete and make the playoffs but once there they haven't done much at all. I just get tired teams like those two do a good job of drafting and player developing and then those players get really good they have to trade them. The Cardinals is a mid market team but they get 40,000 people a game so that really helps with your revenue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re absolutely right that a guaranteed 3 million plus fans every year helps. They’re your outlier of a mid market team who can spend up their with the big boys at times.

Bad thing is that he was a rule 5 draft pick so if I read it correctly he has to stay on the roster the whole year. if not they will have to send him back. I have read where they still looking at trading for Rosario of the Indians Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
