PolishPrince34 Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 (edited) Reinsdorf is 86 years old what the hell is he waiting for. I know there are other owners, but things are never going to change until we have new ownership. Sad our window is here and sitting on the sidelines just putting band aids on the roster.

I walked by the park this afternoon and there did seem to be a lot of activity outside. But it could just be normal pre-season stadium prep work and not indicative of anything else.

Lillian Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 1 hour ago, ChiSox59 said: What, exactly, right fielder, is cheap, and in their last year, before, free agency? Those things, generally, are not consistent, with, one another. Tyler Naquin is going to be a free agent next year and is scheduled to make $1.45 Million this season. I posted the suggestion, earlier. I have no idea what the Reds would ask, in return. However, it probably wouldn't be that much, given it's only a 1 year rental. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Robert courting?...Harper and Machado, would have been the closest. Wheeler? Tanaka was the only other really massive fish we were pursuing in the last decade since Dunn.

Yes those twitter accounts appear to be credible. Probably the reason why they don’t play in the top free agent market because they have a budget every year. So basically, the ownership team is a partnership. Jerry can’t just pump money into the organization because it would dilute the other shareholders shares.

I know he has his flaws but for real if you aren't going to make a serious offer for any of the legit LH savages on the market, you should at least have a decent contingency plan. They've got nothing new against RHP. Not Miller, not Joc, not Rosario, not even Tony friggin Kemp. They are up shit creek without a paddle. We’re going to sprinkle Leury “Savage” Garcia in everywhere against RHP and that should be sufficient. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Hahn needs to change his approach and if he doesn’t than fire him and find someone who will be conservative on spending money on utility players and the bullpen so they can afford some players at the top of the market. I doubt that happens though. Long term, it would be Jerry selling the team and the new owner restructuring everything. It now comes down to if Kimbrel is traded to free up some cash. And hopefully before any of the remaining free agents sign. Edited March 17, 2022 by maloney.adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
