    Emilio Pagan back to the Reds, 2/20. The reliever market is moving.

    It's a fine depth signing. Ideally he never sees Wrigley but we needed infielders in Iowa and he can play several positions. Personally I've been a fan for awhile. I saw him play in Lehigh Valley. And I was at Phillies ST in 2018 ahead of his MLB debut and he was walking down the foul line during warmups and I asked if he could sign my hat and he came over right away and was super friendly and chatty and of course that stuck with me. And another fan came over and immediately asked Kingery if he was excited to play with Arrieta (who had reportedly signed with the Phillies that morning I think) and Kingery was unaware of the news and got super giddy like a kid. Always seemed like a good dude but the contract he got did not go over well and he was a bust.

    So much for him being the focus of our offseason. Pivot!

    Cerami got the goods https://x.com/Michael_Cerami/status/1992285585277383063?t=iIuSeCap16MUP7xE909N5A&s=19

    Born in Kentucky. Went to high school in Chatham, IL. And chose to sign with the Cardinals last offseason.

    Finally a move. He's been a fine middle reliever for a few years but was pretty great in 2025 (and the second half of 2024).
  9. Post Count Padder
    And we non-tendered Eli Morgan. I know he had a lost year but that kinda sucks given we gave up a really interesting prospect for him a year ago.
  10. Post Count Padder
    Yankees non-tendered Mark Leiter Jr and Scott Effross. And also Michael Arias (remember him?)
  11. Post Count Padder
    Yeah he posted obscene numbers in the AFL but he's also going to be 25 in June and hasn't played in AA yet. I'll be curious to see where he starts the season.
  12. Post Count Padder
    Also we non-tendered McGuire. Not unexpected.
  13. Post Count Padder
    Rangers non-tendered Adolis Garcia. Maybe we should aim higher but he's a right fielder with a good glove and power. Potentially a RH complement to Caissie?
  14. Post Count Padder
    Yeah that's like a ghost of rumors past. And honestly if the entire front office was completely caught off guard by him accepting the QO, then that's pretty damning. I kinda doubt that's the case. Maybe they thought he was leaning toward declining but you have to plan for the chance he accepts.

    After 10 that's quite a drop off. And I know he had a great debut and was a 2nd round pick but feels like Kepley is being over-ranked.
  16. Post Count Padder
    I mean it's one year of Ward vs. four years of Rodriguez. If he's healthy that is a big get for the Angels. The obvious problem is he hasn't been healthy in a year and a half.
  17. Post Count Padder
    Orioles and Angels just announced a trade that no one saw coming Taylor Ward for Grayson Rodriguez
  18. Post Count Padder
    I was half-joking. I miss his personality and power but he's basically unplayable in the field. I wouldn't mind him on the bench but I think we could do better.
  19. Post Count Padder
    I guess we're not worried about the other AAA arms. The Rays DFA'd Morel. Bring him home!
  20. Post Count Padder
    We're gonna get 40 man roster news soon. Triantos feels like he will get added. As will Pedro Ramirez. I wonder if they're worried enough about McCullough or Noland to add them. And I don't know where Birdsell is in his rehab but would a team take a chance on a guy that won't pitch for awhile?
  21. Post Count Padder
    Gleyber, Grisham, Woodruff and Shota all (so far) accepted the qualifying offers. That seems like more than usual?
  22. Post Count Padder
    Honestly fine with it. Gives them the option to look into Cease or talk trade with other clubs. They still could pursue both avenues.
  23. Post Count Padder
    These are always fun.

    PCA finished 9th in MVP voting. Busch, Hoerner, Seiya all got votes.

    In my head, the pen.
