Blah.Buster_ESPN Heard this: The Reds are interested in acquiring Gary Matthews, Jr. from the Mets in the event Angel Pagan wins NY's CF job (as expected).

I'm assuming this is a mis-timed April fool's joke?Originally Posted by reds44

Why? He's terrible. I watched the Mets/Cards game on MLB Network today and came away very unimpressed with Matthews' defense in CF. He misplayed at least one flyball in the couple innings I watched. I even made the comment that I was glad the Reds decided to stay away from him. Guess I spoke too soon. He was a good defender earlier in his career but not anymore. He's not an upgrade over Balentien, Dickerson, Gomes, or Nix.

This would be a very Reds move to make
Go Gators!
This makes beyond no sense....
Perfect.
He'd be cheap, he'd be a classic Jocketty PU (the Cards were always acquiring guys that I was lost on why they were making the move)
This is what they think about when they take Stubbs/Dickerson out of there.
Still not as scary as Willy is it?
I'd consider the source of the twit that tweeted and what he probably left off of this information. With the Reds budget situation, I can't see the Reds overpaying to get him.
Where we gonna go?

"Wu wu well this is this is just wrong, it's just not right I tell you."
Most of Matthews salary is being paid by the Angels- Something like 20 mil of the remaining 22.
Update: Mets on hook for $1mil per year, Angels paying the other 21.5 mil.

The mlb trade rumors page re this. Just Olney as the source.
No way Gary Matthews becomes the Reds' fourth or fifth outfielder. He'd start. I hate post-roid guys.

Man am I hoping that Angel Pagen has a terrible spring.

johnfayman #Reds source on Gary Matthews Jr.: Zero interest. Listed 5 OFs in camp he'd take over Matthews.
Good.
