I wonder if this means they are going to try to keep Castellanos?

Not sure, Krall gave the old have to manage the budget line today. Hopefully it isn't the start of a complete firesale.

Barnhart did a great job behind the plate here in Cincinnati. He helped develop pitchers and called good games. I guess there will be other changes during the off season. The old guys are on their way out.

I'm ok with this. Stephenson deserves a shot to be full time.

Nah, he's gone. Bob wants to limit the payroll and he's probably going to get 5yr/$100-125m somewhere.

Spent 6 years "rebuilding", 2 years pretending to be a potential playoff team, and now another 5+ years of rebuild incoming.
He needs to sell the team.

Also this trade seems like a salary dump. They got back a 24-year-old 3B out of college who hit .196 in A Ball in 2021 after hitting .158 in A Ball in 2019. Oof.

Ugh

They weren't going to keep him at 7.5 million as the backup catcher nor should they pay him to not be here. The trade makes sense but the comments about it from Krall just suck.
