  1. Stephenson hits Free Agency at age 30. In order to extend him, they're going to have to buy him out to at least his age 33-34 season. Should the Reds really invest in a catcher through his age 34 season?

  2. I think the Reds should try to deal for Luis Robert…speed, power, good defense and since he's coming off a down season and White Sox are looking to rebuild I don't think we'd have to give up a "ton" in young prospects.

  3. Friedl and Fraley are names. Warm bodies. Good guys, but the Reds have proven they can lose with them. You just said the outfield has been terrible and putting the same average/below average players on the field makes zero sense. They need a significant upgrade in the outfield. They do not need two of the same cast of characters who don't win. The Reds' biggest problem is loyalty to medicrity
