A Robert + Leasure to the Mets trade could be interesting, but not for Luisangel Acuna.

I normally get mad at grammar errors when people don’t use a period at the end of a sentence. 🤣😉

Which probably means it is some combination of the Reds not wanting to give up that much talent and/or the Sox not wanting to eat $10 million, since they haven’t agreed to a deal yet.

Has that rumor been of whom Getz is looking to acquire or whom the Reds are offering?

NBC Sports is reporting otherwise, per a Yahoo Japan article. Since I can’t read the article, here is what they said: https://www.nbcsports.com/fantasy/baseball/player-news?playerNewsId=0000019b-6b62-d35e-a1bf-6fe25b5c0000 Here is what MLB Trade Rumors is saying: “Kazuma Okamoto Travels To U.S. For In-Person Meetings With Teams”

Okamoto is in the US this week for final in-person meetings. He has meetings set up with the Blue Jays, Cubs, Red Sox, Diamondbacks, Padres, Angels, and Pirates. No mention of the White Sox. https://news.yahoo.co.jp/articles/b15139f58e9e44f3d810871e2b180ac211726231

Yep. I don’t see the Reds happening.

Here’s the blurb from Wittenmeyer’s 12/27 article: ”The Bleday trade offers at least a platoon option and potential upside play for the Reds, who continue to look for reliable pop for the middle of the lineup (including staying in contact with the White Sox on a possible Robert trade).”

Wittenmeyer won’t give up on this rumor.

Agreed. Collinsworth was dead wrong with his “plenty of time” nonsense.

What a painful final play. And Burden might be hurt.

Brutal display by the defense today. Caleb has to score a TD with 2:15 left and 3 timeouts.

That was truly awful.

Some of the ugliest missed tackles you’ll ever see. Bears making Purdy look like Joe Montana.

It could never be clean enough. Even after sitting in one of those boiling torture pots from the show Shogun.

Way too easy. Sweat got faked out of his shoes.

Nice free play.

That works. Nice TD pass to Burden.

Caleb can’t do anything against this defense.

Well, that lead didn’t last long.

Wowzers.

I was just talking about his bat, hence mentioning his PA over the past two seasons. His defense is usually good. And the reason you can’t just stretch out his WAR over 162 games is because he is always due for an injury each season.

Wasn’t there another supposed insider named after a reliever that pitched for both the Cubs and Sox? Steve Cishek maybe?

I hope “Bartolo’s Colonoscopy” isn’t considered a “foodie”. 🤢🤮🤣
