Nice Win last night
However don't expect a starting pitcher in a trade as deadline is ending.
We could use a bullpen guy, if a last place team wants to give up a bullpen guy. Reds bullpen has been worked to death.
As for starting pitching, Reds are getting starters back from Injured List in August, so by end of August Reds may have too many starters.
Don't look for any money put out in trades until The Moose and Votto highest paid Reds ever contracts end in November. And also until Reds can do the Books and see if they made money for first time since before covid 2020.
Hey, The Reds put out money for a good team. Then no fans in stands 2020 just killed small market Cincy who had some big contracts. Reds had no choice but to dump contracts. What Reds and Rays did right was they grabbed the minor league players other teams were dumping in 2020 due to no minor leagues. That worked out well for Cincy and Tampa. Reds have good young players and are winning faster than anybody expected. Besides no fans 2020, Reds had poor attendance in 2021 and 2022.
Reds not only are winning, but have had great attendance in 2023 as fans spend money, plus will be out from under Moose and Votto contracts in November and Reds have good young Pitchers and Hitters and Fielders going forward.
Just don't expect big money spent before the trade deadline any day now, the money ain't there to spend, not yet, but Reds are way ahead on the 2020 no fans covid rebuild. See, for money rich Yankees it is different, and teams like that. Small Market Cincinnati and Tampa in no fans 2020 grabbed all the minor league players they could, and both Reds and Rays are better off for it.
Nice Win last night. It's hard to win at LA Dodgers. Always has been.
