I remember all the chatter about the Cardinals including Jenkins in the Heyward deal as a dumb move. Now he’s proven to have little value. Funny how things work out in the long term.

Something something not all top prospects pan out, etc.

Solid pickups if they can stay on their roster.

Darn, I liked Shaffer. Was hoping he would stick

Assuming both are out of options?

Neither of them are out of options yet.

Dammit! This would have been a perfect move for Stearns to make, having Shaffer back up Shaw and Thames.

That’s the cost of 5 more wins than the Reds, a lower waiver priority!

Don’t know that Jenkins will fare all that well in such a homer friendly park, but it’s not like he can do worse than what the Reds threw out there last year. Right? Right?!

Can’t be worse than some of those guys. As long as his curve is working, Jenkins is a ground ball pitcher. The Reds look for those because of GABP. Could be a good fit. If not, nothing lost.

Richie Shaffer … great looking ballplayer … kinda surprised he hasn’t hit as well as I feel he should …
(at least up to now)
Good luck, kid !
