I like this move for several reasons. The contract is cheap and allows the Reds to add a Castellanos. 6 Mil for the first year and still tradable with 9 Mil on the second year. He was having a great year until the end of last year. I was concerned that he fell off of the cliff at the end of last year due to injury but I’m hearing that he started tipping his pitches. This also makes the team flexible with Bauer, Disco and Mahle at the trade deadline. If Bauer pitches like he did last year then he’s way overrated. This just gives the team so many options to make on the fly, if needed. They need to add a big bat now and this should be a playoff team. Iglesias will still need to be able to close out leads though and Bell can’t give away the 10-12 games that he did last year. 2020 is starting to feel like an exciting season guys!
