Cincinnati Reds (2025 is our year!)

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.
