Cleveland has some very nice players, it seems.
And Cincinnati has apparently been contracted. Bummer.

Re: Free Agents Frenzy Starts here
Let's go ahead and take Cleveland's best players.
It's not like their fan would notice.

Shields' option was picked up as well.

Actually, I think the MLB network does a great job of covering all the teams. It's ESPN that has that ridiculous bias. Well Fox too I guess.

Re: Free Agents Frenzy Starts here
Wouldn't mind the Reds kicking the tires on Scott Podsednik. He's getting up there in age but would be decent outfielder and is a lefty who's career splits are fairly even: .275 against LH, .282 against RH. Wouldn't cost much either.

Re: Free Agents Frenzy Starts here
