It really makes me wonder now, if Dick Williams wasn't privy to this coming down the pike, and leaving beforehand, not wanting to be a part of it. I wondered the same. Then you consider Kyle Boddy leaving the oranization, etc, I think they all knew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Covid probably messed things up for him doing it in 2020, and then the CBA negotiations put a freeze on everything over the past 4 months or so. Bob's probably been stewing on this for over a year. So, that makes this premeditated murder (of a major league roster). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you cannot run with the big boys then sell out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way I pay to walk in that ballpark for the near future. I have almost no interest in even watching games till they put a product worth watching on the field. Exactly how I feel, wouldn’t go to a game if they gave me a ticket, surely Bob is planning on selling out soon, at least I hope so, I grew up on the Big Red Machine, this is just heartbreaking!!

CincySportsFan Posted March 16, 2022 Author Share Posted March 16, 2022 This was tough to watch. You could tell Winker was sad, but trying to put up a brave front. But, the most telling part, was him saying the Mariners are trying to win, and he's excited about that.

The Professor Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 The Reds are basically a Farm Team for other franchises, similar to the Kansas City A’s for the Yankees back in the ‘40’s and ‘50’s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Raven Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 I won't miss the Amir Garrett sideshow, but still don't understand the move, They traded away a guy in his "prime" and got little to nothing in return. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
