News: #Cubs acquire Wade Miley on waivers from #Reds. @MLBNetwork

[TwistedLogic]

Adding the Reds to the list of teams that are a hilarious tire fire.

The Reds are a shameful organization. Traded Iglesias for cap relief a year ago, and this year they kick the offseason off by punting Wade Miley because he makes $10M. Poor Votto.

He could have got himself traded any time but he didn't seem to want to

 

Bad thing is if they kept convincing him they were going to be competitive while he was there

COuld expain why Castellanos opted out the millisecond the World Series ended.

No GM

 

No manager

 

Infighting

And they get Cano back for 24 million dollars next year

Holy s*** I forgot about Cano lol

[G-Snarls]

Holy s*** I forgot about Cano lol

 

Me too until heard his name on MLB Network

 

Do they play him at 2B?

 

They have too many 1B/DH types aready and there may or may not be a DH spot for anyone

[Dick_Pole]

Miley would have been a nice addition for the Jays. But there was no way he was going to fall that far down/up the standings. Why didn't the Reds at least try to trade him?

That's the puzzling part, terrible decision.

Trade for Sonny Gray

[glory]

Seeing how the Reds operate, if the Jays took Moustakas, they could probably get Castillo for free.

[G-Snarls]

Do the Giants want a free agent older more experienced catcher?

 

Or one of our young ones?

Probably neither. I'd assume they're perfectly happy rolling with Bart and Casali.

[TwistedLogic]

Mets qualify Conforto and Syndergaard. This will make signing Thor to a one-year deal a lot harder to justify. Also, Conforto might seriously consider accepting. This is essentially the one-year "prove it" deal the Jays gave to Semien.

Yeah

 

Syndergaard prob just accepts the QO and tries to put together a healthy season

[Spanky__99]

I feel like Thor could get 100M on the open market.

 

Yeah, I don't know about that much, but I'd be shocked if he takes the QO.

[max silver]

 

That's a pretty insulting offer for a player the caliber of Correa, he very well may end up with twice the total contract in free agency. I wouldn't be at all surprised if Houston goes hard after Semien instead if that's their actual budget.

Damn... I missed that tweet, that's ridiculously low. He'll get somewhere around 300M on twice the term. That's a we tried fans offer, lol.

[connorp]

What would Lindor get rn, all things considered (coming off same season but as FA)

lol, c-poop... depends on what team's projections/value would be, certainly less than that ridiculous contract the Mets gave him. He still projects to be near a 5 win SS.

Way to go out on a limb and put your guess out there, douche! Packers are a house of cards mate.

Uhmm, who's the douche? Around 300M like Correa, it's not that hard, minion.

It's sad that a front office would attempt to pander to the mouth breathers in their fanbase like this. While not nearly as bad I get shades of the Oakland ultimate lowball offer to Semien after the pandemic shortened 2020 season where they offered him 12.5 million with 10 million of it deferred over 10 years worth of $1 million installments. I prefer how our front office works, they didn't bother offering Price a contract after 2015 because they knew they wouldn't even be in the same area code as the offers he would be receiving in free agency.

32 million AAV isn’t all that insulting, but the length of the deal…. Yeah I can see Correa being more than a little upset by that.
