I”m a little surprised by the Chris Reed retirement. I don’t have any idea of his background or story, so I can’t speak to that. I also know that MiLB can be a grind, so it’s possible he’s lost the desire to play. I’m just surprised to see a player who is right on the cusp of being an MLB player hang it up when he is just an injury or two away from getting his break.

The pick itself is still sort of a shock. That draft itself was one of the most loaded in years, especially with top talent pitching. Why LA took reed then had to be a mystery with multiple good talent still on the boards, some then even that didn’t come off until the supplemental rounds because of high bonus demands.

That’s the thing no desire or not getting paid enough.
