  6. Reds always lollygag and miss opportunities. They never pull the trigger, and that separates them from the rest and the best. And that's why we will never go back to the World Series. I mean, if you want it go after it, that's what I have always taught and a lot of these other teams are doing that, and it's not costing them a whole bunch, but it's always like, well…the other teams always wanting a ton back from the Reds. So stupid! I am not a Nick Krall fan

  7. Patience is great but it's like playing chicken if you wait too long you can easily lose out and see only scraps leftover. How about Roberts for Ashcraft and round A competitive pick?

  9. not really a matter of patience..the big team are shopping and the reds and all of the smaller markets are waiting for goodwill to open their door and get the rejects that the big spenders dont want

  11. Ownership and son are a joke, they have done nothing. Let's make a trade and bring ina starting pitcher. They have 2 pitchers in minors who more than likely are ready to go, bring them up and make it a 6 man rotation. The owners are dumpster diving looking for reclamation projects. They can't outdid other teams to get a Santander or Hernandez or anyone else. The biggest acquisition they made was hiring a manager. Lol. That's why you hear the reds were mentioned on a lot of players and that's all, cuz they don't want to spend money. They can up the payroll another mill, the owners can afford it, but choose not to. Why add to payroll when we can just run out the same players and make money. They might bring in that Louis Roberts guy who won't perform or gets hurt that's all nick is doing is TALKIN lol. Heck they can't even sign a back up catcher this team needs new owners who care about the FANS and want to win… Disappointing Reds fan watchin other teams make trades and bringing in players. The Cubs are goin for it

  14. If the Reds sent R Hinds and C Collier to either LA or Chicago for Ward or Robert Jr would that get it done? That’s a player with MLB experience and from what we are told one that’s ready but blocked. Or would you rather keep them and sign one of the FA OF ???

  17. We will end up re-signing Nick Martini and we will continue swooning over our potential…
    Worse still is Fairchild will still be on the MLB Roster. I would have rather seen them take a chance and claim Baddoo who has in the past shown tremendous potential with the bat than continue rolling with guys that literally just can not hit.

  19. Do not, I repeat Do not trade Arroyo. The guy is on a fast track to stardom. If teams don't want prospects then get creative with current roster for an outfielder. Otherwise take a crowbar to your wallet and give a free agent stud outfielder the money. They dick around long enough their window is going to close. Please do not chase Pivetta, he is a bum.
