Before the injury the reds also traded Simon for a catcher Wallach, who now seems lost in the system. Also got Crawford who I don't think has thrown a pitch all season, boy what a trade!

Bang up job by the bullpen today.

I thought we got a catcher in the Latos deal and a utility infielder in the Simon deal.

Bang up job all week...

•Unless someone blows the Reds away with an offer, John Fay of the Cincinnati Enquirer could see them rolling the dice, effectively staying pat, and hoping for a second-half turnaround. There are people in the organization willing to blow it all up, but Fay writes that owner Bob Castellini is an optimist. Johnny Cueto, Mike Leake, and Aroldis Chapman could yield great returns for the Reds, but their owner might not be ready to call it quits on 2015. The Reds are 32-36 following today’s 5-2 win over the Marlins.

Ugh.

Ugh.

If he isn't selling, he better be buying. This team won't win without a productive leadoff hitter. Also need another solid bullpen guy and the rotation could use another arm.

I remember liking Byrd over Aoki before the season. Whoops.

I'd take any number if Astros prospects. Plus, it'd be fun to watch Cueto in the playoffs.

Whatever team Cueto goes to will be in the playoffs

Not necessarily. And if it is a wildcard team, he may not pitch.

I would look at the Dodgers as the best trade partner, they have a deep farm system and have a history of ponying up money. Astros most likely will not want to unload talent they have.

I don't know much about the Dodgers system besides Seager. But imagine Kershaw, Greinke, and Cueto in the same rotation. Wow.

Dodgers would unlikely deal Seager or Urias. Grant Holmes, Paco Rodriguez or Darnell Sweeney are more likely to be lured to get JC. If they could pry Seager away that would be a coup.

Chapman and Leake will also bring in some top talent as well.

The Reds need to get a LHP that can be an ace, a LH OFer and a reliever to use in high leverage situations.

Outscored 25-5 by the Brewers this weekend? I think they can start selling now...

 

[bearcat8290]

Looks like the Brewers have figured it out. Fired their manager, hired a young smart former player like Craig Counsel to run the team, no non-sense approach. Told his bullpen, "when I call, you better be ready." Price says, oh you pitched to one batter yesterday, you need 2 days off. Look at the Brewers now, 8 wins in a row. Now not the best competition including the Reds, but a snow man is a snow man anyway we look at it. (8). Price is awful. Just the other day, he used Pena (marginal catcher/receiver) at best for the final seven innings of the Mets vs Reds suspended game in New York City and turns around and uses Pena again 30 minutes later for entire nine innings in the final game of the series for a total of 16 innings in a row. Now what would be the reason for that? I got about 10 comments on that subject alone. Anybody watch Sunday's game? Pena catching, all of a sudden, Brewers running all over the place. Any thoughts on that? Price mentally asleep in the dugout. What an awful hire Brian Price has been. My only hope is that Barry Larkin can manage, take over this team and move everyone in the right direction. We will never win anything with Brian Price as the manager. NEVER !!!! All readers of this post can bank on that fact.
