September 28, 201510 yr Does anyone know the free agent left and right fielders that the Reds should be looking at for next season, if they don't go with Duval and Bruce? Is Choo signed long term with Texas?
September 28, 201510 yr Does anyone know the free agent left and right fielders that the Reds should be looking at for next season, if they don't go with Duval and Bruce? Is Choo signed long term with Texas? I believe Choo is signed through 2018 with the Rangers. Signed a big deal a few years ago worth over $100 million.

September 28, 201510 yr Marlon Byrd may end up being under contract next season after all in SF. He has 527 PAs with 7 games to go. Can he get 23 more to vest?
September 28, 201510 yr Marlon Byrd may end up being under contract next season after all in SF. He has 527 PAs with 7 games to go. Can he get 23 more to vest? I can't imagine they would let that happen but he has been really good for them. .285 BA 3 HR 30 RBI in 34 games
September 28, 201510 yr Marlon Byrd may end up being under contract next season after all in SF. He has 527 PAs with 7 games to go. Can he get 23 more to vest? He seemed awful tired to me the last couple of games. He is probably going to need a couple of days rest.
September 28, 201510 yr Do we expect the Reds to contend with the Cards/Bucs/Cubs next year? Nope, the pitching won't be ready till at least 2017. And the offense isn't showing any signs of getting better.
September 28, 201510 yr Nope, the pitching won't be ready till at least 2017. And the offense isn't showing any signs of getting better. Agreed. So why spend any money on a free agent?
September 28, 201510 yr Do we expect the Reds to contend with the Cards/Bucs/Cubs next year? Not a chance. Agreed. So why spend any money on a free agent? Agreed, and they won't. One of the young guys will get that job in LF or Suarez possibly if Cozart is healthy. Ideally you find a trade partner for BP (Who had a pretty nice year) in the off season which would allow Suarez to move to 2B.
September 28, 201510 yr Marlon Byrd may end up being under contract next season after all in SF. He has 527 PAs with 7 games to go. Can he get 23 more to vest? Which is exactly why the Reds had no choice but to trade him -- it is also why Byrd's broken wrist was a blessing in disguise.
September 28, 201510 yr Agreed. So why spend any money on a free agent? Well, they have to put somebody out there.
September 28, 201510 yr Well, they have to put somebody out there. I'd rather see a player like Winker or some other young kid out there than a re-tread.
September 28, 201510 yr Winker will be given every opportunity to be the guy in LF next season before they consider moving Suarez there. They're going to do everything they can to move BP in the offseason IMO. Suarez is ideal for 2B.
