  Is there a reason for this. Seems weird. Sweet staying on as a catching advisor?

  BP tweeted earlier that he and his agent are working hard for him to be a #Red4Life.

  Apparently they want to evaluate Bell as a possible replacement when Dusty's contract is up. I guess Bell has been getting alot of interest around the league.

  David Bell, Alexander Graham, Liberty......whoever, can't win it all with Dusty.

  Disappointed in the team's inactivity this offseason. Becoming a trend unfortunately. They did this at the deadline as well

  It's called small market baseball. Not surprised you don't realize that though.

  Can't wait for his "yawn" response.

  Dontrelle Willis tweeted the following with no frame of reference. No idea what it means, but interesting.

  Getting drunk in cincy.

  Dontrelle is a mad tweeter.

  BP is my favorite Red since Larkin but signing him now would be a huge mistake. There is no benefit.
• wildcats20

  

  Ramon signed a 2 year deal with the Rockies today. Wish him nothing but the best.
• Midstate01

  

  Good luck to Ramon
• se-alum

  

  Reds get a conditional first rounder for Ramon signing.
  
  Also, Yonder has dropped 18lbs thus far in the offseason.
• TigerNation10

  

  Glad to see Yonder working to help this team and not waiting on a trade to another so he can stay at 1B.

  Rumblings of Sean Marshall coming to Cincy. Virtually unhittable against lefties.

  Travis Wood going to Chi Town.
• Azubuike24

  

  This is an absolutely horrible trade...
  
  Marshall is a free agent after this year. To give up on Travis Wood so fast...I'm questioning it. Especially inside the division. Theo just took Walt if this is true.

  It goes with the win now stance that Cincy obviously took with the Latos trade.

  Definitely
  
  Still don't think its a good trade though..wood is gonna be really good imo
• wildcats20

  

  Difference in the Latos trade....we have him for, what?, 4 years.
