Reds, Jonathan Villar Discussing Contract - MLB Trade Rumors Wow going onto the season people thought we would get Didi or Simein bit now having to settle for Villar. He has been pretty good over the years and he does have speed with 40 SB two years ago. If he can get back to the 2019 stats it would be a good signing.

Alex Wood(San Fran)Kike Hernandez(Boston), Joo Pederson(Cubs), Pedro Baez(astros). Even with those roll player losses, the Dodgers are stacked beyond belief, especially in the minor leagues. The Kid from Fort Wayne(Zach Mckinstry) will fill in nicely especially if he keeps up his developmental pace that he’s had over the last few years. And Gavin Lux will now be expected to be the everyday second baseman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kids today didn't "give-up" on baseball. It appears fewer want to participate in it. Football and basketball are the "cool" sports now. Throw in soccer and NASCAR and that is where we are at with kids. As far as the rule changes...I can't do anything about 'em. But for this 53 year-old guy they tend to drive me away from the sport a little at a time. This is a sport, on the professional level, that was much better back in the day. I don’t want analytics to go away. But if announcers would stop talking about it I think it would help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen some reports from guys with connections to the DR that have said a deal is has been reached so I'm guessing they are waiting on a physical to be done. Holder is a good defender so they can use him as a defensive replacement late in games to help with those defensive problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
