Re: Are the Reds done dealing?

I think the reds may look to move some guys to save some cash in the spring. If Masset proves healthy, I could see him peddled for a low level minor leaguer and salary relief. Arredondo might be gone too, but his success against lefty hitting may save him on a team short on lefty relief options. If they could get a AAAA shortstop who plays defense and can sit in AAA as insurance for one of these guys, that would be fine.

Speaking of that, a second lefty for the pen would be nice and I like JP Howell or maybe Raphael Perez on a cheap deal. Honestly, if the idea is to field the best big league team possible to go for the win in 2013, Tony Cingrani may be a better option than anything on the market

Leake (Swingman)
Arredondo/Simon/Ondrusek/Masset (I'd deal at least 2)
Cingrani
Lecure
Marshall
Hoover
Broxton
