The contract he signed back with the Reds had a team-option on it where the controlling team (now Arizona) could choose to keep him for a certain price. Probably a pretty steep price (I canā€™t remember the number, but heā€™s been quite good and so itā€™ll probably get picked up).

Either way, I think they really need to add two position players who are slam dunks to be at least league-average. At least, if they want to actually be good.

Have to think the Sox would talk turkey on Luis Robert jr. itā€™s not like heā€™ll be around next time theyā€™re good. Seems like a good buy-low candidate, too.

I have a thing Iā€™ve written with my opinions thatā€™ll be up soon, but yeah. I love Santander. And also, oof, OF is really thin all across MLB right now. I also want them to sign Pete Alonso.

At his house in the woods, my retired steel-forger father just laughed and said, ā€œWhat idiots,ā€ and he doesnā€™t exactly know why.

Listen, Joel, the internet told me Terry Francona got to make demands, so money is no object here. Candelario can keep the bench warm until someone gets hurt. (Heā€™s gotta rebound some, but also, damn)

I forgot he has an option on his contract. That's less fun.

Like, I think, right now, Steer might be the best 3B on the team? And that feels awfully weird.

The more I think about it, the more I think bringing Geno back to Cincinnati would be both a good baseball move and fan-friendly. He actually hits enough to fill the role they wanted Candelario to fill last year. And heā€™s a good 3B, which is a spot that has lots of questions for the Reds.
