  Is Billy going or staying?

Billy is gone.  They didn't offer a contract to him and he's a free agent.
I heard KC was interested in him and nearing a deal.

The question should be is Scooter gone or staying ??
I think he stays but they are listening to offers.
There is talk of a trade with the Dodgers as well.

I would be elated to see them trade away Homer.  Talk about giving money to the wrong guy.

The Reds are supposedly interested in Kluber.  Better hand over a good outfielder who can hit.

They made a trade with the Nationals for a pitcher that was 4th or 5th in their rotation. They also have spoken to the Marlins about All Star catcher, Realmuto. This is the most intriguing offseason I can remember in forever.

Yes I hope they can get a few other good players

The talk with the Dodgers centered around Puig and pitcher Alex Wood if I recall, but the Reds weren't willing to include Senzel, but were willing to include Homer.
That talk has pretty much died down.

It will be interesting to see what else comes of it, but it's been said the Reds are sort of photo bombing free agent talks.
Not really interested, but drumming up interest by jumping into the picture unannounced.

I can't even say that it bothers me if that's the case, because it's at least intriguing.
If nothing comes of it, that will backfire in regards to attendance during the 2019 season.

Well it looks like Cincy is doing a little more on trade talks
