We can start calling them The Seattle Reds with Suarez, Winker and now Castillo. Just as in 1983 Howard Cosell kept calling The Phillies the Reds all through the World Series. On making the error over and over, Cosell said, " I'm sorry I keep calling them The Reds, but you can see my mistake. They have Pete Rose, Joe Morgan and Tony Perez." So if someone would now accidently call The Mariners as The Reds, it would be the same honest mistake.
I still hate to see The Reds dumping so many players over the last 2 years.
However getting 4 players in return isn't bad. The Key is this Shortstop that is listed as one of the best shortstops coming up in the Minor Leagues. Plus they got a 2nd Shortstop in the deal, and a Starting Pitcher and a Relief Pitcher. This helps in THE FUTURE because The Louisville Bats are in Last Place also, so not much Help coming up from Louisville. So this trade does add to The Reds Minor Leagues and hopefully to The Reds in THE FUTURE.
So The Reds try to restock their Minor Leagues. Meanwhile, I might be like Howard Cosell and start calling them The Seattle Reds, with Suarez, Winker and Castillo added to Seattle just this year.
The Yankees are crying, but the Yankees weren't willing to give up anybody. They thought the Reds should just give them Castillo for free. That's how The New York Yankees are. They can go ahead and cry, Seattle actually offered some players in return.
Oh yes, not that it means much, but the Reds once traded Dave Parker who should have won the MVP after a great year, to Seattle. What we got from Seattle didn't show right away. However in THE FUTURE was World Series MVP Jose Rijo that Reds got in the Dave Parker trade. So Reds have had luck trading with Seattle, and bad luck trading with Washington Nationals. Seattle trades have been OK in the past for Reds
