Interesting on Badenhop. They didn’t take him on a 2.5M decision? He might just top that on the FA market.

I agree that Badenhop will probably top 2.5 MM but he doesn’t have much value to the Reds right now. They need to trade their remaining veterans and rebuild.

Not shocked at the move, but dealing him and $1M for organizational filler would have been feasible.
Ray Ray
Why pay to get organizational filler? There will plenty of filler available for free near the end of free agency.

for the cost savings…

He couldn’t top 2.5M$ 12 months ago, why would he now?
Brixton
He got a 4M guarantee 12 months ago. It was built in through the buyout on the option. He either got 1/4M, or 2/6.5M.

He waited until late in the season to sign as a setup man, that’s why he failed to get a decent deal. look at Soriano and Shaky Gonzalez, those those 2 were Boras holdouts.
Badenhop was solid 7-8th inning for both the Marlins and Boston.
Ray Ray
Badenhop was HORRID for the Reds last year. I watched almost every Reds game last year and he just stunk up the place most of the time. Whoever signs him for the minimum salary will be greatly disappointed. Whoever signs him for more than $2.5 million will be a fool.

Lots of teams need bullpen help (points to my Mariners!)

No more Shumaker.
I’m. So. Happy.

Red Sox should toss out an offer to Badenhop. He had success there and maybe he’s a good fit in Boston.

Don’t let Badenhop’s numbers fool you, he was terrible last year. In any meaningful spot he stunk up the joint. He pitched decently in garbage time.

Some stats to follow up on that:
OPS against when Reds were winning: .985
OPS when Reds already losing: .611
OPS in high leverage: .884
OPS in medium leverage: .574
OPS in low leverage: .672

Badenhop isn’t a surprise. The other two kind of are. I thought Schumaker did well last year. Surprised at the final numbers. Why is Lecure suddenly on the outs ? He was sooooo good for so long, whatever his role was . Oh well. They’ll have an even younger staff next year. Plenty of options for the 10-12 spots. Will Bruce be back ? Phillips ? Bailey if he’s healthy ? They should’ve never given Bailey thst contract. Yes, he’s had two no hitters( A friend and I witnessed the second one in person), but outside of that , only injury and mediocrity. Send Bailey and Bruce home to Texas. Bring Derek Holland home, if he’s healthy.

We finished in last with the group that was let go. Not a great loss.
