reds are complete toast at this point, and i fear the only person who doesn't know it is bob castellini.
remember the infamous quote when jocketty was asked one year (when the reds were clearly out of it) if the reds would be sellers at the deadline. his response: "do you know who i work for?"
all of the good reds' players who are playing on contracts that will expire in a little over 2 months should be actively shopped. this includes puig (although i would prefer the reds sign him long-term, or slap the qualifying offer on him if they don't trade him).
sell, bob, sell. don't be stubborn.
