USA has the same rules so that makes USA a joke?

I’m barely hanging onto a roster spot, now let me not get vaccinated and make myself unavailable and make the team think twice about including me on the roster going forward.
Notice how no one’s forcing a vaccine on anyone. I’m just saying don’t go crying about how your rights or livelihood are being infringed upon when they call up someone else next time.

Reds will probably lose 90-100 games this year. Nice little break from the dumpster fire this season is going to be. Enjoy your mental health days fellas.
Cosmo2
They may well lose more than that

Drury is just afraid of playing in TOR after how things ended there
jdgoat
So much for the Blue Jays reported interest in Mahle over the winter.
wifflemeister
Every MLB team should be required to play the Blue Jays In Toronto this year so that the idiot unvaccinated players are “outed” once and for all
hiflew
They will starting next year. With the balanced schedule over half the NL will be traveling across the border in 2023.

Some of you people need help.

I don’t get this vitriol for unvaccinated people. It doesn’t stop transmission or infection. The only thing it does is, maybe, make it better for you if you get sick. And that’s a maybe because you never know what the symptoms will be and how extreme. Getting vaccinated doesn’t protect anyone else. So why do you care who isn’t?
Ducey
You nailed it when you said “I don’t get this”
earmbrister
As you said, and Ducey agreed with, you don’t get it.
Vaccinated people are less likely to get Covid. They’re also less likely to be hospitalized. They’re also less likely to die from Covid.
When you were less likely to get Covid, you are less likely to pass it on to your family members, friends, and neighbors.
The lack of a vaccine for the general population is why China is dealing with massive lockdowns of major cities right now.
It’s science.
hiflew
How about because unvaccinated people take up beds in hospitals that are needed for other people. People have died from other diseases because beds in hospitals were full of unvaccinated Covid patients. I know this because my neighbor is a nurse and she told me that almost all of the Covid patients in her hospital have been unvaccinated. And many of them were crying and begging for the vaccine after they were there. But it ended up being too late for some.
So yes, those “personal choices” can affect others as well as those too uninformed or stubborn to do what needs to be done.

Barrero has no business playing shortstop. Kyle Farmer is our shortstop. Bell better leave the lineup alone too.

You’re joking, this is a joke, right? Please tell me you’re joking
Bobcastelliniscat
Kyle farmer is a good player to have on the bench, but he is no way the long term answer at shortstop. Jose Barrero was the Red’s number one prospect last year and will be the best Reds shortstop since Barry Larkin.
hiflew
Will be? Realize that prospects fail at a very high rate. MLB history is full of “can’t miss” guys that missed. You HOPE he will be, but it is far from a guarantee.
Bobcastelliniscat
Also you want David Bell to leave alone a line up that is 11-26 and is in dead last this season?
earmbrister
Bob C – At one point, the starting 1B, 2B, SS, 3B, and CF were on the IL. The RF and C had just returned from the IL. And 3 starting pitchers missed more than a month as welll.
The MLB team isn’t 11-26, the AAA team is 11-26 vs MLB competition.
Rowsdower
Kyle Farmer has a 70 OPS+, you do realize how awful that is, right?
Floki
Why doesn’t anybody ever talk about the competitive advantage the Blue Jays get when every team they play in Toronto has to leave part of their roster home? MLB is silent. Even worse, the players association apparently has no interest in defending a certain portion of their members losing pay. I think the players still lose their pay, correct? Also, it would be an interesting article for MLBTraderumors to put together….
Starvenger
That’s because the Jays were at a competitive disadvantage in 2020 and 2021, playing in Buffalo and Dunedin before finally getting permission to play in Toronto.
BaseballBrian
It;s been 2+ years of the ‘Vid. Let people make their own decisions.
earmbrister
So your Pro Choice right?
stymeedone
Only when its their choice, is freedom important. When someone else disagrees, choice is not a concern.
StudWinfield
@ear, because not playing a sport and intentionally ending life are similar? I’m no hardliner either way but this is not a convincing argument.
You Can Put It In The Books
fun* not “gun”… but not the most inapplicable autocorrect I’ve ever seen.
Armaments216
Also around for 2+ years: diphtheria, polio, measles, mumps, rubella, meningitis, whooping cough. Relying on only your own decisions for those too?
cguy
Aquino & Ashcraft helped their cause in playing for Reds in Toronto. Motter? Not so much. Almora , now that he’s over that mental block, gets his first chance at Cubbies this week. I’m thinking 5 hits + 2 HBP for Albert in this series.
slimmycito
Ashcraft looked pretty good, I think he has potential. Greene looks downright nasty in a good way. As a Jays fan I was pretty happy they kept running Motter out there to play awful defence and look overmatched at the plate.
raz427
Honest question for diehard Reds fans: How is the front office with international scouting/spending? I know their payroll isn’t competitive by any means, but are they allocating or using their resources for the International Market? The trades they have made recently have backfired and set this team back for at least 2-3 years, if not more. It’s a shame too, I always valued the Cincinnati Reds as a historical MLB franchise and I actually have been to GAB last year for Dodgers/Reds, it’s a loyal fanbase that deserves better from it’s ownership.

These guys who won’t get the vaccine needs to be released. I don’t care who it is.
