Jamie_B Posted November 30, 2023 Report Share Posted November 30, 2023 Gonna make a new thread since we are basically in a new season now. Reds signed Nick Martinez to a 2 year deal, with an opt-out clause after 1 year Nick Martinez, Reds agree to deal (mlb.com) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
claptonrocks Posted December 1, 2023 Report Share Posted December 1, 2023 The signings of Martinez and Pagan will help solidify the bullpen with Martinez also being a 6th starter in case of injuries. Good moves by Krall. More to come... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id love to draft 1B Nick Kurtz or P Chase Burns.. Both have tremendous upside. To have the 2nd pick in round 2 will add another good prospect as well. Exciting times coming up this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does offer leadership the team needs, and has a decent bat, you can also move him back to 2nd if McClain gets hurt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you've taken the players and slotted them in many positions and it all seems to work. If they can trade India for another pitcher they might pull the trigger on it.

claptonrocks Posted December 20, 2023 Report Share Posted December 20, 2023 Reds get 2nd pick in MLB lottery. Top 2 players. 1..JJ Wetherholt...2B/SS 5'10 190lbs.. Considered not only the best hitter in draft but maybe in a few years. 54 games.. 449 ave 16 hrs..520 OBP.. .720 slugging pct.... Hard to k... Could be an outstanding table setter in the order. Very fast runner..36 steals. 2..Nick Kurtz..1B. 6,'5"' 235 lbs.. Super power that hits to all fields. Doesn't Chase pitches much. Hits for average and tremendous power .. 3 or 4 hitter in lineup. Good fielding 1B. Both should be in majors very quickly. Either player is an A+ selection. Ceveland picks 1st... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know nothing about him. 30yr...Big guy at 6'2" 255lbs.. Motas has a 96mph 4 seamer but his split finger is nasty.. Heath has been the issue. Torn labrum rehab kept him out last year. Was 6th in Cy Young in 2021.. Reds are acquiring some good arms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
claptonrocks Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 Nick Krall said he feels the team has filled the team with solid free agency signings.....102 mil.. The trade value of India will determine what type of reliever they obtain Kralll's good at this.. One of the best.. He'll improve the pitching with a trade for him via bright prospect or immediate relief help Odd the Cubs haven't spent a dime..😎 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
claptonrocks Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 Didn't see the Buck Farmer signing awhile back. Reds used him in the 3:man relief core ( 6th thru ,8) alot until hr burnt out. Solid type for a 5th or 6th inning work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
claptonrocks Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 Reds sign reliever Brent Suter.. Sutter is a long reliever. Pitched 2 inns 24 times. Groundball pitcher (42%).. Cincinnati native . Good pickup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depth all around by the versatility of all of them... Another bat that hits lefties well would add more to the offense. Another good reliever as well.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

claptonrocks Posted February 10 Report Share Posted February 10 6 hours ago, Jamie_B said: India signed a 2 year deal avoiding arbitration Id read that he wanted 5mil and the Refs offered 4,2mil so they met in the middle. 2yrs 8.8mil That's good trade bait if they're inclined to move him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
