Seen this story before, when does the selling start?
Jeimer was so bad the last year he played in Detroit. He was a terrible hitter and fielder. He could not have played any worse. So hopefully not.
Reds don’t believe in long term answers under this management team.
Phantom IL stint? That is not legal and teams have been penalized for pulling that $h!t. Teams have submit documentation to the league on every injured player.
You really think that’s stopped teams from pulling such a stunt before?
Tough listening when you hear “ahh” and “umm”1000 times a podcast. Very annoying, I had to turn it off…just saying…
Ah yes, totally unlikely for a team in 11th place in the NL and 5 games under .500 to sell
Braves: Not selling? I don’t want the Braves to sell because I’m a fan, but I have to at the very least look at the possibilities, right?
