That would really suck for Leake (for him) to start back in Triple-A.

In my lifetime, I can't recall a more exciting time to be a Reds fan than right now.
My dad got to enjoy 3 Reds World Championships by the time he was my age. So far, I've only gotten to enjoy one. Step it up Redlegs!

#Dbacks Towers says Gregorious is one of "premier shortstops in baseball." "We think we're a better ballclub today and in the future..."

I'm blown away by Walt's ability to surprise by exceeding expectations. Feels good to be a Reds fan right now.
This ain't signing Eric Milton just to say you've done something.
It is on the whole probable that we continually dream, but that consciousness makes such a noise that we do not hear it. Carl Jung.
I may be the only one, but I wouldn't mind seeing Walt deal a little of the "surplus" for a youngster with upside (and controlable years) - maybe a young 3B or corner OFer - a young starter or high-leverage bullpen arm might be nice too.
Indians will be sending reds $3.5MM as well.
Seriously. Choo was probably my second favorite target of the offseason. And we still made our blockbuster trade with Arizona
So the Reds can win the WS with Choo in CF and Ludwick in LF this year, then trade Leake, Ludwick and a prospect for Upton in the offseason. Plug him at LF alongside Hamilton and Bruce, and go for the 3-peat!
Go BLUE!!!
Rosenthal also just said on Twitter that Indians are sending ~$3.5 million to the Reds to account for the difference between Choo and Stubbs' salaries. Wow.
