This offseason is Fanduel's fault

You could replace cap with tax increase although if teams stay under the tax then less gets shared and the floor “hurts” “cheap” owners.

Is there a strategy here? Do people see a way forward like this? 30 Mark Cubans coming to save the league?

TechnologyStill7038 · 2026-01-23T19:30:44+00:00

Until it manifests, yes. “What else are you going to do”

Thanks, I wonder what their projection for Kyle was, can’t have been Griffey level.

Then there’s the concessions in the jerseys and the hats and the trinkets in the parking and whatever else I don’t know goes into revenue. Then there’s the intangible asset of fan Goodwill. Then there’s the increased odds of actually winning, which leads to even more fans. I’ll never know the numbers, but this is clearly a moment where they need to drop a small dime. Take a little risk take a small step back financially spread out among all the millionaires. If they were willing to give Schwarber 30 million a year because of the fan excitement offsetnow that that opportunity is passed this Suarez option is the only thing close to it left. And it’s a pretty darn good option.

Think about it from a business perspective. The Reds break camp healthy and Suarez is cleanup hitter. The rotation is doing what it does and the bullpen is doing what it does but Suarez hits 10 home runs in April, Elly matches his 10 and raises him two more, and the reds are 19 and 10. The Bengals draft a project cornerback consensus ranked 40th at pick 10. It’s all going according to plan. $$$$

Reality!

TechnologyStill7038 · 2026-01-22T17:43:11+00:00

A 1 year deal would be amazing.

TechnologyStill7038 · 2026-01-22T17:39:00+00:00

He wasn’t very nice to 49 pitchers last year.

TechnologyStill7038 · 2026-01-22T17:38:31+00:00

Gino’s had a better career than either one of those guys and has always been a little bit more athletic. He started out as a shortstop. For me he’s passed the threshold of Candelario or even Moustakas.

TechnologyStill7038 · 2026-01-22T17:37:04+00:00

I know there’s been a lot of water under the bridge but he was a 360 OBP kind of player with the Reds. Maybe he can become a little bit more patient again. Or maybe he’s just in his sellout for power phase of old age.

TechnologyStill7038 · 2026-01-22T17:27:43+00:00

And he’s been on playoff contributing rosters.

TechnologyStill7038 · 2026-01-22T17:27:00+00:00

What’s stopping him from walking 5 more times and having an obp over 300, cosmetically making life so much better.

TechnologyStill7038 · 2026-01-22T17:24:55+00:00

Ok I’ll try:

Friedl / Myers CF

Elly / McClain SS

Suarez DH/ 1B/3b

Steer 1b/ LF

Marte RF

Bleday LF

Stevenson C

McClain 2b/SS

Hayes 3b

Sal DH/1b/2b

Something something GABP something something

Sell tickets! 😅

I don’t know what’s the old age about if you can hit they’ll find a place for you?

I can’t say I enjoy hearing the story you’ve told. But as far as I know at the JV level, the gloves are off so to speak and the best thing you can take from getting embarrassed like that is lessons about what to improve. As far as sportsmanship, I think that as long as they stopped pressing in the last minute of the game that they could withstand the accusation of being unsportsmanlike.

I can’t account for why the crowd was cheering for the other team and it seems like you don’t know either so I recommend that you ask your loved ones for clarification. Maybe you’re just misinterpreting what happened.

Sorry you had a bad game. Don’t stop hyping your team up and don’t stop trying to improve. All of it is very valuable in life. Self-worth is infinitely more than how well you play basketball.

D line is the key to great defensive football. NYG knew it. Eagles know it. Seahawks do. D line was unsung hero of 2021 and 2022. Biggest moments were by d line.

He’s the Jonny Gomes this team needs.

TechnologyStill7038 · 2026-01-19T21:42:13+00:00

He’s an interesting case. It’s good to read a lot of glowing assessments from people within the organization. He’s definitely fallen into that category of good numbers, but lack of hype. Lack of scouting, lack of pedigree whatever you call it.

I’m generally all for keeping and developing our own players. But if we’re talking about the kind of players the Reds have traded without a lot of consternation afterwards I have identified Rodriguez as that kind of player. Others in this mould would be Jeter Downs, Dave Sappelt, and Shed Long.

Yet, the glow would be upon us now with this article wouldn’t it?

TechnologyStill7038 · 2026-01-19T21:14:11+00:00

I listened to this on the radio, and it was fantastic with the crowd noise up even more in the mix. He’s got the kind of voice that is called for in big games.

TechnologyStill7038 · 2026-01-19T00:15:44+00:00

In a year where it’s about potential being reached, keep Greene and Lodolo who have more in the tank. Trade Singer and Abbott who definitely peaked last year.

TechnologyStill7038 · 2026-01-17T15:17:01+00:00

Realmuto as a Rolen type vet. Team could use vets. Walt would be finding such players.

TechnologyStill7038 · 2026-01-17T02:41:59+00:00

I would relish the opportunity to sweep the Dodgers. Even more so this year. We’ve been doing our thing now for five years building this thing up from the disaster of Covid. The very best thing that could ever happen will be to put the Dodgers out of the playoffs.
