I have heard that he loved playing for Dusty Baker. I don't see why he wouldn't want to go play for him on a contender with the Nationals rather than staying on a rebuilding Reds team.

cabiness42 Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 As someone who has lived very near both cities, I can fully understand why somebody who enjoys living in Cincinnati would not want to move to Washington. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does he actually live in Cincinnati or just hang out during the season? It isn't like there is a ton of time during the season for them to do other things. If he wants to win, it is a pretty simple call, but he might as well try to extract a few more dollars. If he lives in Cincy, that could be another story. The other thing is many players live by the spring training facility, and one is in FL the other in AZ, that is 6 weeks less of living at home, and could be persuasive, especially if he has a family.

BlackSox13 Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 http://m.nationals.mlb.com/news/article/15...de-to-nationals "WASHINGTON -- A baseball source said there is an "85 to 90 percent" chance that Reds second baseman Brandon Phillips will waive his no-trade protection and become a member of the Nationals. Multiple reports on Thursday indicated that the clubs had reached agreement on a trade that would send Phillips to Washington, but as a "10 and 5" player, the veteran infielder must consent to any deal." Still no word on the players going to Philli. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCalSox Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 I'm still amazed the Reds dealt Frazier for what they got... Worked out fantastically for the Sox but surprised the Dodgers didn't just get him & leave the Sox out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they're looking for another power bat. They need pitching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schebler doesn't seem that great but he'll start in LF for them. Sox didn't give up any long-term starters either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
