BengalRep85-9 Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 Any word on what the reds were offering? I'm not sure who any of the minor leaguers the rangers gave up are, but getting lee for only 1.5M seems like a good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bengals1181 Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 if they really want another starter, why not go after Roy Oswalt? Dan Haren and Ted Lilly are also options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BengalRep85-9 Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 Isn't Oswalt making something absurd this and next year? Like 17 million per or something like that? Unless Houston pays a good part of that he won't be coming here, plus they probably won't trade him in the division anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't this the same argument people like you were making for getting Lee, except in this case, the pitcher is already under contract for next year? [/quote] No cause I was never under the impression we would resign him. I figured we could rent him for 2 months, go far in the playoffs, then let him walk. And we are freeing up money once Harang is gone, but a lot of that will go to raises for guys like Votto, Phillips, etc. [quote]2011 Contract Issues: Cincinnati Reds By Tim Dierkes [May 3, 2010 at 4:38pm CST] The Reds face a slew of contractual options after the season: Aaron Harang has a $12.75MM club option with a $2MM buyout. The option price increases by $250K if Harang reaches 210 innings. Plus, both the option price and buyout increase if he's traded. If Harang stays with the Reds through the season, they'll decline. Bronson Arroyo has an $11MM club option with a $2MM buyout. The option can increase to $13MM based on innings pitched. I envision the Reds declining this as well, giving them flexibility to sign a veteran replacement. Shortstop Orlando Cabrera has a $4MM mutual option, with a buyout that can be worth either $0.5MM or $1MM. It'll probably be the latter, assuming the player exercises and the club declines. Catcher Ramon Hernandez has a $3.25MM option that vests with 120 games. Assuming Ryan Hanigan stays healthy, this won't vest. Outfielder Jonny Gomes has a $1.75MM club option with a buyout ranging from $50K to $200K based on plate appearances. The Reds have three other free agents in Arthur Rhodes, Mike Lincoln, and Miguel Cairo. The trio earns $5MM this year. All told the Reds will clear just under $30MM if all of these players are allowed to leave, accounting for buyouts. The Reds have $4.76MM in increases to players under contract, most of it going to Brandon Phillips. They'll also owe first-time arbitration raises to Joey Votto, Edinson Volquez, Johnny Cueto, Micah Owings, and Bill Bray. Jared Burton and Laynce Nix will be in the second-time class. It'll cost over $10MM extra to retain the key players, with Votto getting the biggest bump. Holding payroll steady and allowing all free agents to leave, the Reds should have over $10MM to work with. They'll have a lot of holes to fill. If the Reds are out of the race in a few months, saving $5-10MM in salary dumps would go a long way for 2011. [/quote] So they have us at about 10 mil, and this is if we dont resign bronson too, which we may or may not. So Oswalt would send us over budget and we wouldnt have any room to add anyone else in the offseason. Just not gonna happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
