I’m guessing this is because he’s cheap and because Senzel hasn’t worked out…

You are the Reds insider right?

I live about 50 miles from Cincinnati and do follow them somewhat just not as much as the Rangers. Senzel was supposed to be the next coming a few years ago but has been a big disappointment to the club because of injuries and not performing when he’s healthy…

Do you think they would need anyone else we may be looking to shed to get the 40 man where it needs to be in a few days?

As of now, this is how my 40-man roster would look going into the Rule 5 deadline. I will only include 35 names to allow for 5 free agent signings. None of our current free agents, like Martin Perez, will be named.

Pitchers

*Bradford
Burke
Cody
Dunning
*Englert
Gray
Hearn
Hernandez
Kent
Leclerc
Martin
Otto
Ragans
Tinoco
*White, Owen
*Winn
*Vanasco


Catchers

Heim
Huff
*Garcia


Infielders

Acuna
*Crim
Duran
Jung
Lowe
Ornelas
Wendzel
Seager
Semien


Outfielders

Garcia
*Harris
Mathias
Taveras
Smith
Thompson

* indicates they have to be added to the 40.

I put David Garcia as the third catcher, but it really doesn't matter that much to me who the third catcher is. Also, Brett martin is kind of a placeholder as I think we have to either hold onto him, Santana, or Barlow.

None of today's roster casualties were on my list of 35. Let's see how this roster shapes up over the next few days. Should be interesting.

 

[Kelleyman]

So they are releasing them without us knowing
Wut???

Technically, no one released yet. Waiver claims and a cash transaction.

 

[saddles]

Maybe they have laid the groundwork for trades involving Garver and Howard.

 

[saddles]

Makes Walker more appealing.

Makes Walker more appealing.

not sure there's room for him in a rotation that's deGrom/Kershaw/Rodon/Perez/Gray

Ok yeah meant wonder who all if all were waived
Yes is seems like you pull them back If claimed and you don’t like the return

Considering they did a major salary dump this year anybody that is reasonably priced might interest them in a spot that can't currently be filled by their farm system. Most of their Top 30 is AA and below and all of their better prospects MLB Top 100 are middle infielders. Their best MLB players right now seem to be IFers and they're fairly weak in the OF, sounds like the Rangers...

So maybe, maybe not just depends on how highly they rate some of what they currently have vs what the Rangers have and what's coming in another 2-3 years...

If Drury can play LF competently then he might be a trade target if you need to get rid of a pitcher or 2...

One more hour to make the QO to Perez.
