So, for example, a $50MM contract would cost a team a total of $59.375MM — $50MM to the player and $9.375MM to the former club." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nats want him but aren't willing to part with either of young studs. Also saw a tweet where Mets, Giants, and Blue Jays are showing interest.

DC2345 Posted November 30, 2020 Report Share Posted November 30, 2020 Reds are exploring options at SS. They are looking at trades for Lindor and Story as well as FA options in Semien, Simmons, and Gregorius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC2345 Posted November 30, 2020 Report Share Posted November 30, 2020 I think that Story would fit right in on the Reds. He hits a lot of HR's and K's a ton. He would make the team better and I'd take him but I wouldn't mind a few less K's in the lineup and not more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends who you have to give up since Story and Lindor will be a free agent after this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought Almora would turn into a really good player. I just don't know why teams keep building lineups with so many homerun or bust hitters. The Cubs have done that and I know the reds has as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just never delivered for us in his limited chances. He'll end up in Oakland or Tampa and you'll hear from him again. Really sad on Schwarber. Tough one to swallow. Can't believe they didn't have a trade partner in AL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
