Is there a reason for this. Seems weird. Sweet staying on as a catching advisor?

BP tweeted earlier that he and his agent are working hard for him to be a #Red4Life.

Apparently they want to evaluate Bell as a possible replacement when Dusty's contract is up. I guess Bell has been getting alot of interest around the league.

Disappointed in the team's inactivity this offseason. Becoming a trend unfortunately. They did this at the deadline as well

It's called small market baseball. Not surprised you don't realize that though.

Dontrelle Willis tweeted the following with no frame of reference. No idea what it means, but interesting.

BP is my favorite Red since Larkin but signing him now would be a huge mistake. There is no benefit.

Ramon signed a 2 year deal with the Rockies today. Wish him nothing but the best.

Reds get a conditional first rounder for Ramon signing.

Also, Yonder has dropped 18lbs thus far in the offseason.

Glad to see Yonder working to help this team and not waiting on a trade to another so he can stay at 1B.

Rumblings of Sean Marshall coming to Cincy. Virtually unhittable against lefties.

This is an absolutely horrible trade...

Marshall is a free agent after this year. To give up on Travis Wood so fast...I'm questioning it. Especially inside the division. Theo just took Walt if this is true.

It goes with the win now stance that Cincy obviously took with the Latos trade.

Difference in the Latos trade....we have him for, what?, 4 years.
