Austin Hayes for a 1 year deal hoping for health and a GABP rebound. If nothing else he can be the short side of a platoon in the OF.
Hayes, Candy and Lux give you three actual MLB guys (who obviously have some flaws or they wouldn't be here) who improve the bottom of the 26 man roster if nothing else.
I've seen them do worse shit.

Ok so they added
1) Wade Miley to a MiLB contract: coming off TJ surgery so he should be ramping up late spring or about when depth starts getting tested. Absolutely love the move. Zero risk, possibly significant depth piece and vet presence for young pitchers if nothing else.
2) Taylor Rogers from SF and $6MM cash for a minor leaguer I have never heard of. Not sure what the hell just happened there but I will take it. Quality lefty for the pen and some cash, maybe another move coming?
These are all reasonably competent moves on the surface. I will await the details of how they all blow apart but be satisfied for now.

It just dawned on me that Rogers, Moll and Suter are three legitimately good lefty bullpen pitchers. Like good enough to pitch for good teams kind of guys, not good by Reds standards kind of guys.
Holy shit.
Holy shit.

Look at Witt Jr's contract. That is the comp. ( I think they already missed their window if there legitimately was one).
11 years, $288MM that's a ~$26MM AAV. Reds payroll is typically ~$100-110MM
AND you have the uncertainty of the tv money plus the next CBA is due up at the end of the '26 season (iirc). There is already talk about punting '27 to duke it out with the players union to get a salary cap in place. I think this is going to be much more likely as the Dodgers just continue to pull away from everyone else economically.
I'd love to see him be a life long Red but I think there are reasons he will not be and it isn't as simple as the "Reds are cheap".
