I think Castellanos declines the Reds offer and becomes a free agent to test the waters since Boros is his agent. It's unfortunate but that is what baseball has become. Only the elites (Dodgers, Yankees, Cubs, White/Red Sox) can afford the money for these top tier players leaving teams like the Reds and Tigers to scramble for the leftovers. So it will either be another off season of patching the holes with has-beens, or another 10 year rebuild.MVWxObserver wrote: ↑Mon Oct 04, 2021 12:31 am Cincy took 1 out of 3 vs Pburgh as they won 6-3 to avoid a sweep!
Final Stats for the Redlegs ...
83 -79 / .512 / 12.0 games back in 3rd place
Definitely needs to be another overhaul in the off-season and how myself, Mike, Tim, and other fans wish that Cincy had a team owner like George Steinbrenner i.e. who CARES MORE ABOUT WINS, PLAYOFFS, AND CHAMPIONSHIPS OVER KEEPING A TIGHT GRIP ON ONE'S WALLET!!!!
I sure hope that Nick Castellanos i.e. doesn't get traded!
Yes, its SAD that every team can't be an elite organization for top tier players, instead of so much of the same ole "song and dance" routine with start from scratch leftover young bloods from the farm systems. We already endured enough annoying exhausting multi years of rebuilding under Bryan Price!cloudy72 wrote: ↑Mon Oct 04, 2021 8:05 amI think Castellanos declines the Reds offer and becomes a free agent to test the waters since Boros is his agent.

100% agree Les. This woke culture we are in has gone waay over the top. Prob is, people are letting this nonsense happen. Just tell them to grow up and go away. They don't like the name Redskins, then they don't have watch the team play. Simple solution!! I bet the people raising these concerns about team names do not watch a single play of any game these teams play.
I tell you what Mike. I am watching and waiting. I am waiting for someone to stand up and take charge (Like Trump). One person cannot change this alone. We need numbers. Get a few hundred thousand people and let's storm DC and take back our country. I am waiting for something like that to happen. Right now, people are scared with their heads in the sand. How much more of this shit are people going to take? Costs of everything are rising. Supply chain is really bad and we may not be able to have Christmas Gifts for our families? WTF? Something has got to give, Mike.cloudy72 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 28, 2021 5:14 pm100% agree Les. This woke culture we are in has gone waay over the top. Prob is, people are letting this nonsense happen.

No prob, Bro, and all's good.tron777 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 28, 2021 6:55 pm Eric... I hope the people of Virginia and NJ wake up next Tuesday with their Gov elections. I'm sorry. I should stop now since this is not a political thread. It's supposed to be Sports talk. My apologies to all as I did cross over the line. I'm upset about all of this as most real Americans ought to be.
I got impassioned, too. (Wish we had a Politics section here at the AV 2 esp now more than ever given our country's status situation, but I can also understand reasoning not to). We stayed at a Hilton Hotel in the downtown area and one of the activities we did was take in a Braves game at the (then) Fulton Co Stadium. Deion Sanders (who played dual baseball and football), Mark Lemke, Tom Glavine, John Schmoltz, Fred McGriff, and Chipper Jones were with the team at the time. 
I forget who their opponent was but the Braves won. We took a MARTA metro bus to and from the game. On our way back to the hotel and while stopped in traffic, my Mom and I looked at a particular window of bldg and there was a woman getting her hair done at a salon and this was late at night like around 11 o'clock or so. On one outing we also rode on the Atlanta subway. You can't forget Greg Maddox either!MVWxObserver wrote: ↑Thu Oct 28, 2021 7:39 pm Les and Mike,
Speaking of the Braves I remember a business trip that my Mom and I accompanied Dad on to Atlanta in the summer of 1993.
During our stay in that Peach State city we also saw "Jurassic Park" at a theater, visited the Coca Cola Museum, and also a mall called Underground Atlanta where among some of the shops was a gentleman playing a saw blade out in the corridor.
The Braves had one of the best pitching rotations at the time. My Tigers did too in the 2010s with Justin Verlander, Max Scherzer, Rick Porcello, and Anibal Sanchez. The difference here is that the Braves won with this talent and the Tigers obv did not. Can you imagine a combo of their early 90s pitching staff and the Nasty Boys from the '90 Reds bullpen? Talk about lights out!tron777 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 28, 2021 7:47 pm
