Why we goin after Pivetta unless Abbott/Lodolo won't be ready and guys like Pivetta&Singer are proven innings eating commodities
I think we should and try trading for Dalton Varsho good defensive fielder with power and can cover OF and backup catching duties
Pass on Robert. Maybe Robert for Lodolo straight up.
Good Pitching ALWAYS beats Good Hitting
and Vice Versa …………. Yogi Berra
I think as Reds fans, we over "amp" our own guys. Lodolo's back of the baseball card isn't that special. Over 4.5 ERA, and never healthy. We think he has tremendous upside, he may. It's a risky move, but I think Robert's could do well in Cincy with Francona.
No — I'm with Steve. Do not trade a starting pitcher for Robert.
No, no, no on Robert!!!
I think Robert is too chancy. Leave our starters alone.
You've got to be kidding you would trade one of our good pictu 6:54 res for anybody
You never trade one of our young pictures for anybody much less the 205 getting bomb that never plays
no way i trade Collier, he is 19 or 20 years old??? I trade Marte 100% before i ever think of Collier.. AND the Reds got a way better hitting coach, he will help Robert
I check ESPN every 15 minutes, looking for a big move by the Reds.
Injury prone, one good year hitting! Are you kidding me. NO WAY! Do not want him!
Teoscar is a defensive liability.
Don't want Roberts…only 1 good year…gotta say, so far it's same ol Reds….all talk, no action….damn shame…twice now I got excited over my sports teams giving me false hope…first Jerry Jones said they were "all in" , they didn't do crap…now Krall announces the Reds will be busy…..yeah ok
Reds are so afraid to spend money but yet spent $45 million, 3 years on washed up Candelerio. 😂
I say trade for Ludlow he always hurt it one if suspect player for another suspect player
Every year we have high hopes the Reds will make a huge splash and pick up players we actually need . Every year we come away disappointed. . Small market team , Large market team . The only way you put butts in the seats is win period . Well that’s not going to happen with any manager with an ownership group like this one .
Why don't we just keep it in house and save money and start cam collier in right or left and let him be our power we've already got a good enough "HEALTHY " starting lineup .. why not ? He's a young talented kid believe me he can play outfield. Or did everyone forget rece hinds lol these kids are talented
Abbot for roberts and lowder takes abbots spot
I agree with Steve
Don't want Robert NO NO NO
