I wish RZs would get in the real world. Stuff like "Reds can sign Holliday" and "sure, trade 10 yrs of production (Alonzo) for a 3 mo rental."
The Reds will not offer Holliday anything in free agency nor will they trade Alonzo for a rental. That's how you do things if you're the Mets or the Yankees. That's not a winning formula in Cincinnati.
This thread brings back memories of the hundreds and hundreds of Bedard posts that were made a year ago, many of which advised the Reds to trade the likes of Votto and Ceuto for him. That would have been insane and Bedard wasn't even a 3 mo rental. What do you think Seattle fans think of that trade now? Think their stomach churns everytime they see Adam Jones in the league's offensive leaders?
