Surprising only cause I'd figure they'd give Boyd the extra day off after 90 pitches and a rough outing on Monday. I wonder if they'll just limit him then on Saturday since they'll have some rested arms in the pen. Guessing then it'll be Soroka on Monday and Imanaga on Tuesday then with Horton Wednesday for the Reds.
-
My main concern with not getting another quality starter is it going to be rough in the postseason after Imanaga and Boyd because im not sure how much they're going to be able to rely on both Tailon and Soroka to get them enough innings and keep them in their games without burning through the bullpen. I mean right now I have little confidence with them getting past a first round series, let alone two.

SP Imanaga SP Boyd SP Rea SP Horton SP Brown LR/SP Soroka RH LR Hollowell RH RP Braiser RH RP Rogers LH RP Kriske RH RP Pomeranz LH RP Kittredge RH S/U Theilbar LH S/U Keller RH CL Palencia RH Taillon Assad Wicks Not sure what the plan will be with the rotation going forward, Is Soroka going to start Monday over Rea? He pitched on Tuesday so he won't be able to go Saturday in Brown spot. Taillon when he returns will likely take Rea spot, what the plan for Assad? Who getting bumped from pen now Kriske and Hollowell? Then who gets moved for Assad and eventually moved for Rea ? Does Brown go back to Iowa after his start Saturday? Overall the Bullpen should be on great shape but the rotation is a question marks after Imanaga and Boyd

C. Kelly 1B Busch 2B Hoerner SS Swanson 3B Shaw LF Happ CF PCA RF Tucker DH Suzuki McGuire LH Castro SH Turner RH Berti RH Amaya RH Ballesteros LH Who will go when Amaya returns McGuire or Turner ? What to do with Ballesteros? Should they just DFA or phantom IL Turner now and Ballesteros can get some AB as a DH to start getting OFers some days off. I think Berti will stick if CC likes having a guy on bench he could use late as a PR in close games

Now that the dust has cleared and we fans have to accept what this roster is after a couple new additions, theres still some questions on who stays and who goes from the main roster. SP is still questionable, Bullpen is overloaded, regular position players are set, bench has a solid new additions. There are a couple players due to return soon from IL, which brings the question of who will go once they do. Below this will be the position players and then after that the pitching.
-
No problem with the guys he got cause they help, just the ONE he didn't get that they truly needed, a reliable SP to go between Imanaga and Boyd. Somebody needs to help take that stress off of them to constantly have to be the guy to stop any sort of bleeding.
-
Maybe with the improved bullpen and guys like Assad in the wing, they wont need their starters to go more then 5 innings 🤷♂️😏
-
That right, I forget
-
It can Happen if Reds gets hot now and the Brewers continue to roll 🤷♂️
-
So the final deadline results netted 2 relievers, a SP/reliever, and a bench bat And Hoyer wonders why hes not liked here 😅
-
Had to do something last offseason Kinda like making fans happy this deadline by getting Castro that everyone wanted 🤷♂️
-
Hoyer looking ahead to not signing Tucker, trading Happ and or Suzuki in their final year ( get them to waive NTC).
-
I just dont see how they can compete and make it out of the first round or second with just hanging their hopes on Imanaga Boyd and Taillon against other playoff team top 3 starters Very disappointing, hey at least they got Castro who we all wanted and improved the bullpen alot.

Are they really not going to get a SP outside of fricken Soroka
-
2 minute warning
-
Good lefty bullpen guy Still need a SP
-
That good for Cubs getting Ryan or Gore 🤷♂️

True, if theyre any talk of Ryan too , maybe they just wanted to close out the Castro deal first and could be why they only say prospects. Now they can focus on what it would take for Ryan 🤷♂️
-
Jed said he didn't want to give up his better ones so he just gave up prospects 😂😅
-
Seriously, with SP being the biggest deadline need, theres absolutely no way Hoyer doesn't add one. He's got to be closing a deal on someone
-
Still time to close a deal on one of those SP
-
Cool beans, now the SP for the big finale
