Team is trying to throw a bandaid bunch together and thats it.. Ive tried to add solid tidbits to their off-season in Reds section here but there hasn't been a damn nugget at all yet.. They look to be a team thatll lose 100 games this season.. Real sad..

MLB has our farm system #15 so best we can hope for in the future is average. It's sad.

Any good player will leave as soon as they can to get paid. Small market teams are still screwed in MLB. I know all the blah, blah about how salary caps end up hurting players, (a few millons less) but they improve the quality of the product and allow smaller market teams to compete. As far as I'm concerned the MLBPA is as much responsible for the degradation of baseball as the owners. In my childhood baseball was by far the top sport in the nation. Now it's #3 and dropping. Outside of watching box scores I barely pay attention. Watching games is brutal.

I have long been an advocate for a salary cap and not this luxury tax bs in baseball.

The Luxury Tax used to have some effect (comparatively). Don’t ask me to give the full breakdown, but it essentially was actually a little more than a “tax”—it was a de facto “fine”. The new “agreement” re-defined the “tax” back to an actual “tax” (even though it is still not governmentally regulated). Owners are no longer gun-shy with this arrangement, so are breaching it without hesitation (see Castellanos with Philadelphia for example).

April 9, 20223 yr comment_1668956 I thought they did a nice job in '94, that was when the big shoulder pads were still in use though. It'd be interesting to see that vintage look on a player today. That mockup of Burrow is pretty sick tho.
