The Cincinnati Reds May Be Bringing a Reds Legend Back

The Cincinnati Reds have had conversations with a former Reds legend on returning to the ream in some capacity. Jeff and Steve discuss what that could look like. They also dive into what a possible contract extension for Elly De La Cruz could look like, why the Reds must sign De La Cruz this offseason if there ever want to, and ultimately why a contract extension with Elly is not likely to ever happen. Also, why Scott Boras is the way he is and a few key updates on important Reds players in the Arizona Fall League.

  1. Good chance Joey coached Valaika in his time here. And keep keep in mind we just fired 3 hitting coaches. So why not as a hitting coach? Would we bring him back as a player coach for a specific LH hitter in key situations. I dont think he could play eceryday but why not a hit every 2-3 days? when we need that hit the most?

    Steve I have long held my tobgue on how Votto was just kinda run out of town. IMO

  2. Jeff, I agree with Steven. This is why… Whats worth less to the team 3-5 years overpaid Ellly or we trade him in 2027-2028 for a crap load of talent. I just think we get more out of future talents once we trade him. Though like you Jeff I would like to keep him around for as long as possible. However, WE need to maximize his over all value to the team. If McClain comes back at his 2023 self we might be having the same discussion about him.
