Possible Trade/Call-Up Coming

[Brian]

I'd put money on it's nothing.

Who here would trade Pie for Dunn straight up?

 

Reds44 said that he would not for Dunn and I'm riding the fence. It would be a big loss IMO if we couldn't sign Dunn long term. If we sign him long term then I'm OK with it, but with the ownership change I'm not confident that we could.

 

Agreed with that sentiment. We'd need to be confident we could resign Adam.

 

Quick question, is there any chance this means absolutely nothing? No callup, no trade, nothing? Because that seems hard to believe.

 

Barring the HIGHLY unlikely chance that both were injured, I would have to say no. This may be a very big night (or next day) for the cubs.

 

PS- If it's Tex, I'm going to cry.

 

Where would we play Tex? He's only a first base/DH right?

 

He's played right field.

Btw, the Reds AAA team pulled their starting pitcher (Phil Dumatrait) after 5 innings and only 55 pitches tonight.

 

That may be (and probably is) stretching it, but I figured I'd point it out. He could be getting the callup to the Reds to replace a pitcher being traded.

 

Or he could just be getting called up for some of the waste we have in our bullpen.

I wonder how far apart time-wise this happened in relation to Pie getting pulled.

 

DUDE. Ramirez was pulled in the middle of today's game too. They're trading EVERYONE!!

Dumatrait was pulled alittle before 8, and Pie and Kroeger were pulled at 8:30.

 

As I said, the odds are they have nothing to do with each other.

 

you are, by far, the most knowledgeable reds fan i have ever met.

I'd put money on it's nothing.

 

Doesn't seem like that makes sense.

[TysonCBulls423]

seriously if it ends up as nothing, not even Pie getting called up, I'm gonna be pretty pissed.

Yea, I think a disappointing trade is a much safer bet.

Of course Levine had no idea.

Jones played the whole game though

[Alfonso Soriano]

There we go!

[CubmanPi]

Back to that Jones/prospect for Conine rumor?

Pie/Kroger got pulled in middle of a night game. Jones did not.

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

Well I'm asking Levine...first on after the 10:20 update. I doubt he'll have a clue though.

 

Well, that was far from enlightening. But, good try and maybe they''ll have someone check on it.

[inari]

Levine is not dismissing the possibility of a trade, but he certainly doesn't seem to know of anything.

When? (I didn't go past this year, but all his at bats were 1b and DH...not that I"m against it at all...just curious)

Pretty much just speculating, Levine just saying the big bats to shoot for are Dunn and Griffey, etc.

[TysonCBulls423]

last time he played RF was 2004, and it was for 7 games. He played 25 in the OF in 2003.
