No thx!!!!
*No thx referring to Paul. Yes thx for Jeff (three f’s) and Steven
We had the 5th lowest salary last yr and they say they got to cut it this yr. Teams ran like a joke cant keep its own players let alone bring in a star while other teams are spending 3 times more than us filling their rosters with allstars.
124 days until opening day
How about Reds trading for JoshNaylor
I say we do need him. The injury CES had saps power and may take awhile to recover from
Paul is a great HITTER THOSE AND CAN PUT THE BALL OUT THE Park😅
Oh god. Don't give credence to that god awful website. Guys, look at the rest of their nonsense. They have a dozen clickbait articles definitively saying Deion will coach a dozen different teams, for example. Ignore them. It's terrible.
Really think France was THE MAN TO KEEPS those😮

Not sure about CES PLAYING anywhere ON THIS TEAM PERIOD!!!
I’d take Goldy 😊
I do not know Elly's history at the CF position
but if he has played it before and he Is interested,
Elly could probably be the best CF in baseball history.
His length makes him a natural for the CF,
Elly is a very good fielder, his speed makes it a no brainer,
Elly's throwing ability would make him a game changer
plus Elly is NOT prone to injury.
Throw in there that Elly is a switch hitter …. are you kidding .. ALL WORLD CF.
Less mistakes in CF than SS and we need to improve the ability to turn 2.
However, if Elly does not like the idea or has a history
of CF that did not pan out, this idea is moot.
The more we find out what happened in the clubhouse over the last few years, combined with the number of coaches that they are keeping, is giving me an impression that David Bell was a much bigger problem than we were led to believe. He may be a players manager, but players, professionals, want accountability. And I wonder if he prevented his assistants from giving out such accountability
Paul Goldschmidt is done. Not worth the money, the Reds do not need him. CES and Steer can handle 1B.
But they need Jeimer Candelario???
