    I'm super excited. The Reds made......oh yeah, never mind. No moves! :(

    they're making moves now....fire sale....I lived in Ohio in the Big Red Machine years and can't believe the way they now do business.

    With the other contacts they have they could never afford to keep their pitching but giving away Latos just seems wrong. Would rather they rolled him out another year and lost him for nothing....
    I dont much care for Simon and was fine with trying to parlay his big year into some prospects.
    With Votto/Bruce/Phillips/Chapman having hefty contracts and Cueto and to a lesser extent Leake/Frazier lining up for big contracts it is a tough spot. Cincy tried for a few years to play in the "Big Salary" air and now they will go back down to 100 million or less I imagine.

    Do they currently have or are they getting a lucrative TV deal? I'm suspicious when almost any team cries poor mouth anymore. It did seem to be bad luck, however, in seemingly the whole rotation having the same walk year.

    The Brewers are going to have a "The Selig Experience" exhibit at Miller Park.

    I kid you not.

    I seem to recall that their new TV deal would come in a few years. Owner seems willing to spend realistically which is understandable. I think it is obviously very difficult to do what the rays and As have done. Reds were just outside top ten salary last year but the will drop down this year I think. Oh well will still root root root for the redlegs!

    Yeah, they are giving up a lot of prospects, but I like their moves. The Upton, Kemp, Myers OF could be pretty sick. Norris is a solid catcher. Gyorko should have a better season this year. Might turn into a fun team to watch.

    Yeah, man. Plus they are getting a ton of money thrown in. Nice to see a team like that make huge moves like this. That is an awesome middle of the order/outfield.

    Ya know, I think there was potential here for a whole thread of what the exhibit could cover. . . .

    Tim Kurtjian made an interesting statement. I'm paraphrasing but it was something to the effect of "this generation of general managers are playing a real life form of fantasy baseball. They will do anything to get the best players in the market."

    I think he's 100% correct. There have been moves made in the last few seasons that 25 years ago wouldn't have been. It's definitely fun for the fans to watch their teams build what they think will be a winning team. As a cub fan, I can't wait to see what the next few season bring. I'm sure Padre fans feel the same way.

    I agree that GM Jon Daniels has been playing fantasy baseball with the Rangers but there's nothing exciting about his attempts to fuck up build the team. Most fans are in complete despair about the 2015 season.

    That's the downside of this. Somebody always has to finish last.

    The Nationals jumped into the wayback machine and signed Dan Uggla and Heath Bell.
