HoosierCat Posted November 30, 2023 Report Posted November 30, 2023 Seems like a good pickup. https://www.cincinnati.com/story/sports/mlb/reds/2023/11/29/cincinnati-reds-bolster-bullpen-with-veteran-reliever-emilio-pagn/71742989007/ Quote
ArmyBengal Posted November 30, 2023 Report Posted November 30, 2023 Lets be honest, they could have signed the guy who played Fish on Barney Miller (yeah I'm old too) and improved that bullpen. I like this signing for sure. They need more work on the pitching though. Starters and relievers. I'm now in agreement with trading Jonathan India if it means getting a starting pitcher one way or another. Just looked and Abe Vigoda died like 7 years ago. Sadly he still might be an improvement...

HoosierCat Posted November 30, 2023 Author Report Posted November 30, 2023 Another one. $26 million (though it's really a one year $14 million deal) for Nick Martinez. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/39010979/reds-rhp-nick-martinez-agree-26m-deal-sources-say Quote

ArmyBengal Posted November 30, 2023 Report Posted November 30, 2023 Well, at least they are making effort to bolster a weakness. Quote
HoosierCat Posted December 7, 2023 Author Report Posted December 7, 2023 Money burning a hole in their pocket this offseason... Quote Infielder Jeimer Candelario and the Cincinnati Reds agreed on a three-year, $45 million contract Thursday, sources told ESPN, adding the veteran switch hitter to a plethora of young infielders as the Reds position themselves for a run at the National League Central title. Candelario, 30, was non-tendered by the Detroit Tigers following the 2022 season but rebounded with a stellar 2023, setting career highs in home runs (22) and RBIs (70) while hitting .251/.336/.471 and playing first and third base for the Washington Nationals and Chicago Cubs. His deal with the Reds includes a club option for $15 million in 2027, sources said. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/39061270/jeimer-candelario-reds-reach-3-year-45m-deal-sources-say Quote
ArmyBengal Posted December 7, 2023 Report Posted December 7, 2023 So the talk is to trade India because we have too many infielders, but they hand out a 3 year deal for $45 million like it’s no big deal ?? I smell a bigger trade coming… Oh and side note if you weren’t aware, in an against the odds happening, the Reds ended up with the #2 overall pick in the draft due to MLB’s lottery approach. Quote
HoosierCat Posted December 9, 2023 Author Report Posted December 9, 2023 Ok not the Red but ho lee fuk 700 million dollars… https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/39076745/shohei-ohtani-join-dodgers-10-year-700m-deal Quote
ArmyBengal Posted December 10, 2023 Report Posted December 10, 2023 Saw that as well. Crazy. That dude better pitch, hit and play a couple infield positions for that kind of coin !! Quote
TJJackson Posted January 25, 2024 Report Posted January 25, 2024 so in sum, they are going to suck again, right? Quote

Not sure where you’re getting the “again.” They didn’t suck last year, much to everyone’s surprise. Been pretty busy in the offseason. We’ll see if it pays off. https://www.mlb.com/news/david-bell-on-reds-offseason-additions-for-2024 Quote
ArmyBengal Posted January 25, 2024 Report Posted January 25, 2024 Yeah, I think they will have another decent season and if the pitching can hold out, maybe even get to the post season. Baseball is such a long season, I find it hard to stay entrenched in the every day stuff like I do with football. Going to the games is a different experience as well. Baseball is more social. I've sat out in the right field bleachers drinking beer and barely even paid attention to the game. Just sat and enjoyed a nice day chatting people up down on the river. Go Reds !!! 1 Quote
ArmyBengal Posted February 13, 2024 Report Posted February 13, 2024 Pitchers and catchers report today. The main site also has an article about the projected roster, which is interesting. I still can’t get over the amount of young talent this team has and the plethora of infielders capable of playing multiple positions. I’m looking forward to spring and baseball being back !! 1 Quote

ArmyBengal Posted February 22, 2024 Report Posted February 22, 2024 Much like the Bengals o-line, the Reds success will be tied to their pitching. Hoping for a fun season !! 1 Quote
COB Posted April 6, 2024 Report Posted April 6, 2024 2024 Tribe update for all you Reds fans: The Guardians’ ace, Shane Bieber, is out for the season, is going to have Tommy John surgery. He’s a free agent after this year, so somebody will give him 40 million over two seasons, he’s gone. This team builds their roster around pitching. And it seems like every year at least one and sometimes 2 starters go down. McKenzie last year, he’s back but I’ll eat shit if he makes it through the season. Dude’s the baseball version of Chris Perry. At least the Dolan family is rich enough to run for the United States Senate. They, on the other hand, are not rich enough to run an MLB franchise. Sell the team! 1 Quote
HoosierCat Posted April 6, 2024 Author Report Posted April 6, 2024 Oh, right, baseball started…checks standings…oh we suck again…early tho. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted April 7, 2024 Report Posted April 7, 2024 The Reds are young and I don’t think they are going to suck, but the NL Central has some really solid teams in it. They are a fun team to watch. Quote
COB Posted May 12, 2024 Report Posted May 12, 2024 Basically, Slim Pickens is rodeo riding the tribe through the atmosphere as we crash back to earth. Quote
HoosierCat Posted July 10, 2024 Author Report Posted July 10, 2024 Halfway through, we still suck, but at least this Hinds kid can hit. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted July 10, 2024 Report Posted July 10, 2024 Yeah suck is an appropriate description. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted July 17, 2024 Report Posted July 17, 2024 Annnnnnnnnnd Hunter Greene gets into the All Star game and promptly gives up a 2 run homer and he takes the "L" for the National League. Way to represent Greene... Ugh Reds 2024 in a microcosm. 1 Quote
HoosierCat Posted September 23, 2024 Author Report Posted September 23, 2024 Bell gets the boot. Quote The Cincinnati Reds fired manager David Bell on Sunday with five games to go in a disappointing season that began with the Reds as playoff contenders and will end with them missing the postseason for the 10th consecutive full season. Bell, 52, received a three-year contract extension in July 2023 after the surprising Reds surged into contention following a 100-loss season in 2022. With an exciting young core that included shortstop Elly De La Cruz and a cadre of talented arms, the Reds were expected to be in play for a National League Central title. Instead, they faltered, with injury and underperformance leading to a 76-81 record and fourth-place standing. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/41390092/cincinnati-reds-fire-manager-david-bell Quote
ArmyBengal Posted September 23, 2024 Report Posted September 23, 2024 Dude for how bad the Reds sucked this year, you saw this coming. That being said, it didn't help that nearly everyone that played a part in the 2023 success spent a lot of time on the DL. That and someone will have to figure out how to rid themselves of their version of the Frank Pollack philosophy in their pitching coaches. 1 Quote
