GOOD NEWS on the Diaz trade.  Dodgers do pay his contract now.  That is much better than Reds paying Phillips millions to play for another team or Reds paying Moose millions to play for another team.  Finally, if you are going to trade somebody, make the team getting the player pay his salary from now on.  This is a good dump of payroll by Reds.  Now if they could dump Candelario contract on some team, even better.  Why pay millions to two players doing the Reds and Terry Francona no good in 2025 ?   I'm so glad to read The Dodgers are going to pay Diaz salary now.  Reds are finally getting smart on how to dump payroll.  If a team is willing to pay the salary, you trade not asking much for player in return, the goal is to dump payroll on a player making millions not helping the team. You trade for a bag of peanuts if a team like Dodgers is willing to pay the salary.  Reds just made 3 million dollars, plus what they don't have to pay him to 2027.   Not bad for an injured pitcher floundering in Reds minor leagues.  Dump him and put the 3 million back in the bank.  Now if they could find a sucker to pay Candelario not hitting anymore.
