The @Reds just lost a game to a team that had 3 hits. Just can’t understand why this team can’t get off to a good start. No excuse to not take at least 2 out of 3 against the Tigers.
Source: MLB proposal includes:
•60 games in 70 days
•Season starting July 19th/20th
•Full Prorated Salary
•Expanded Playoffs in 2020 and 2021
•Waiving of any potential grievance
Breaking: MLB and players union are closing in on an agreement to play the 2020 season, via players. Deal expected to be for prorated pay and include expanded playoffs.
Rob Manfred is an absolute Buffoon. He continues to blame the MLBPA when it is him and the owners acting in bad faith by not honoring prior agreements and making awful pitches to MLBPA. If MLB was a ship it would be the Titanic, and he’s steering it right into an iceberg.
The timeline to return to playing baseball is shrinking and the gap between MLB and MLBPA is increasing. If you thought the 1994 strike hurt baseball, wait until you see what this will do.
The MLBPA is very disappointed with MLB’s economic proposal today, source tells me and @Ken_Rosenthal, calling additional cuts proposed “massive." League offered to share more playoff revenue, but on balance, those dollars are small compared to what players give up, PA believes.
What’s going right now with baseball is truly remarkable. In a time when people are absolutely starving for its product, MLB falls on its face. Nothing looks worse than a bunch of millionaires and billionaires fighting over money.
In the last 8 months the Reds have turned Homer Bailey and Taylor Trammell into Trevor Bauer, Alex Wood and Kyle Farmer. Wish they could have held onto Trammell, but the facts are he’s regressed for 3 straight years.
🚨 Blockbuster 🚨
Trevor Bauer to the @Reds, Yasiel Puig, Franmil Reyes, Scott Moss, Logan Allen and Victor Nova to the @Indians, Taylor Trammell to the @Padres in 3-team trade, reports @JeffPassan and @Feinsand. https://t.co/VyJKoxzoFs #MLBOnTheMove
@Reds have a +30 run differential which is the third best differential in the NL despite a 17-22 record. Historically run differential at seasons end almost always correlates to your win/loss record. #Reds#BornToBaseball#BetterThanTheirRecordIndicates
Walker saved at least 2 runs from scoring, possibly 3. Tough break for the Reds. At some point they will start hitting with guys on base. #Reds#Marlins
I’m sorry but if you’re an NFL team are you really going to draft Kyler Murray knowing at the first sign of incompetence at QB he will jump ship and go play baseball? #NFLDRAFT#MLB#Nothanks
Honestly surprised that Philly gave up what they did to get Realmuto. Something similar for Cincy would have been India and Greene. I would have not been in favor of giving up that for a catcher that you’re unsure you’ll have longer than a year.
Marlins have said that Philly will have to give up their top pitching prospect Sixto Sanchez in order for a Realmuto trade to get done. Gut feeling is Philly won’t do that. Marlins have also stated that they would prefer to not deal Realmuto within the division. Advantage Reds.
Nothing new from the Reds as far as Realmuto talks are concerned. Phillies joined the mix, but as far as we know the Reds are the only team that has a formal offer on the table. Marlins could be waiting for Machado and Harper to sign before they pull the trigger on a deal. #Reds
@JonathanMayo of https://t.co/zblUB371c4 reporting that the Reds and Marlins are discussing a deal involving Barnhart, India and lower level prospects in exchange for J.T. Realmuto. Delay is Miami not allowing teams to talk with Realmuto and his agent for a contract extension.
Reds have signed left handed reliever and former Red, Zach Duke. He last pitched for the Reds in 2013 and last season in time spent with the Mariners and twins went 5-5 with a 4.15 E.R.A.#Reds#SolidifyThePenn
@damongraham There are a source that I cannot name that is distantly connected with the organization, but they have a good lid on most info. This tweet was referring to people that work with various publications and networks that reported what I tweeted. Thanks for asking though!
Hearing from several sources that the Marlins are waiting to hear counter offers from other teams on Realmuto. Have also heard that they really like Jonathan India so a deal is still very much in play.#Reds#Marlins
