Nope. No thank you. Ive had my full of permanently injured OF.
If they can get him for nothing then sure, but certainly a bit scary to send any major value
To be fair they claim this year they will spend but it’s always the same washed up players that nobody wants but they will hit a ton of more Homer’s because of gabp. Then it never happens. If you can’t afford the team why have it
I’m all for this. We need an impact bat badly. Our hitting was bad last year and in a hitters park.
“hey. We have a team in Cincinnati. Just letting you know.”
