If he can stay healthy this will be a good deal for the Reds, If he doesn't it will be a good deal for Burns.  Win, win situation.

To me, this says Hunter Greene is on the way out of town and soon.   Unless ownership has a change of heart and fortunes, or there is an ownership change, they aren't ponying up 2 big 15 mil a year contracts for suspect arms.

You might be onto something here.

And that would be a shame considering how the really good teams have a full staff of great pitchers.

Maybe the Reds will turn the page on being frugal and keep both plus lock up De La Cruz. ?

I don't think so. Not soon that is. Wait till Greene is in the last year of his contract. Then you trade him.

The Reds tried. Elly's agent is Scott Boras and he said no.

Right. I keep telling everyone to enjoy Elly now because soon he will be gone. It's too bad he has Boras as his agent.
