Yeah, be a few years though.


I’d throw 7 years $250,000,000 at him to see if damn Boras agrees


I'd rather try 10 for $310,000,000

So I’m listening to the CLE vs. KC game and this Michael Lorenzen is pitching.  Never knew he pitched for the Reds and that he also played the outfield and hit fairly well. I like that.

Was a relief pitcher with some good stretches. Always seemed more concerned with his physice than his pitching. Reds never let him start much and he wanted to.

Played some CF, RF, pinch runner. Solid athlete. Far from my favorite Reds player.

Did I hear right that he has thrown a no hitter?

I was thinking to myself "no way..." and then I looked it up. Had no idea.

If memory serves, he was traded to Philly at last year's trade deadline after being an All-Star for Detroit as a starter and almost immediately had a no-hitter. And then his performance went off the rails and he was stuck in the bullpen by the playoffs.

David Bell fired. It was beyond time.

Krall sucks though and organization needs a makeover

That’s big news. How long had he been manager? Seems like a very long time.
