@Andrew_FBB Bro is 27 in AAA for gods sake i’d hope he’s ready

River Ryan today in AAA: 6 IP 4 H 0 ER 0 BB 8 K 15 whiffs Showed a 6 pitch mix...he is ready.

@CBoxTrace @bryce_spalding Well the time has come. Is it fools gold so far with Austin Hendrick

@bryce_spalding I say we put Austin Hendrick in AAA to test the theory permanently.

I’m trying to say this in the nicest way possible…. AAA pitching sucks. Like really bad. Add ABS + bad pitching, there’s a reason the average OPS in the international league is .768 (!). Last year it was .794! Average! I don’t think Martini magically can hit again, but maybe he’s got some confidence back and it helps spark something… idk. #Reds

@YankeesFiles @JamesLarson47 No he hasn’t. A lot of teams could certainly spent more but a revenue share greatly helps with that

@JamesLarson47 You’ve been bamboozled

The 15 owners who don't presently spend at least $171.7M on their teams because they "can't afford it" but miraculously could next year if there were a salary cap should be embarrassed.

@RyanSchimpFan @Zach6407 @TalkinBaseball_ Agreed however the nfl does this by turning parts of the contract into a signing bonus. There will always be ways to circumvent the salary cap but hopefully it’s less egregious than ohtanis contract

@ATOBTTR1 @Zach6407 @TalkinBaseball_ The only problem would be if they don’t make rules abt deferments. Bc then teams like Dodgers or Mets could just continue spending insane amounts over the cap by deferring 90% of the players contracts

All the teams that would need to adjust payroll based on the MLB's latest proposal

@RMTFKR11 @RyanSchimpFan @Zach6407 @TalkinBaseball_ Lmao every sport with a salary cap shows why that isn’t true. I’m sure nba players with max contracts are crying about how poor they are rn. Players union can get fucked

@ATOBTTR1 @RyanSchimpFan @Zach6407 @TalkinBaseball_ And the players union will never accept the terms because a salary cap means less money for them

@RyanSchimpFan @Zach6407 @TalkinBaseball_ Exactly. They are both an issue and now you have solutions for the dodgers and poverty teams

@Zach6407 @TalkinBaseball_ That’s literally the entire point of a Floor and Cap. Both are a problem and both get fixed.

@bryce_spalding No duno is a huge miss

Holy Edwin Arroyo.

@AveryS72890 @Reds @PNCBank CC’s the goat dumb ass

@ATOBTTR1 @Reds @PNCBank Was off last Friday, Sunday and tomorrow….

Abbott on the mound for the series finale Powered by @PNCBank

@SalStewSzn @Reds @PNCBank Ahhh yeah forgot about that. Good point

@ATOBTTR1 @Reds @PNCBank He just got two days off with the off day and game canceled due to rain

@CBoxSports @Nicholaspkirby Ellys future replacement after he signs with the dodgers for 2 billion

Reds 2025 first-round pick Steele Hall hit his 4th home run last night in the Arizona Complex League. Hall has been outstanding through his first 17 professional games. Baseball America ranked Hall as the No. 2 hottest prospect in all of Minor League Baseball this week.

@Reds @PNCBank Benson > friedl

@JeffPassan I’d love this. I’d prefer not increasing the minimum salary as that’ll just make it easier to hit the 150m without adding anything but W from the MLBPA

The MLBPA made its first proposal to MLB today in collective bargaining. Among the topline issues: - A "competitive-integrity tax" for any team that does not spend $150M - Increase minimum salary from $780,000 to $1.5M - Increase in base CBT threshold from $244M to $300M

@LegerPatch @JeffPassan Yeah this looks pretty legit?

@MetsSuckAzz @JeffPassan What’s so bad about this

@PodcastDoesnt Nick Martinez started a lot of games for the reds

The Tampa Bay Rays' newest analytical strategy is breaking Baseball again

@kingbelli_ @0hioBallKnower Hang the banner

@0hioBallKnower I don’t think any other outfielder gets close to that

WHAT A 5 STAR SNAG BY THE ELITE DEFENSIVE GURU MVPCA🔥🔥🔥 HOW DOES HE DO IT🤯🤯

@MountMcKeever Easy to see on paper how big of a loss stirtz is but 35th a bit low. That lineup has some serious depth and it’ll be awesome to watch McCollum utilize it and develop throughout the season.

Rothstein has Manyawu starting at Power Forward and McKeever starting at Center. I think most have been assuming a 6th man role for Manyawu but this lineup is certainly interesting.

@BuschMVP @PCHate_ You got cooked

Hello bitch @PCHate_

@MARKSELLTEAMNOW Most obnoxious shit ever
