Happy Juan Guzman Day!
On this the annual non-waiver trading deadline day, older Reds fans gather the young ones around and spin yarns of the team going after the player who may bring true their playoff hopes. Then in a tradition taken from Festivus they put up a sheet of paper and list their grievances against their general manager and organization they love.

Re: Happy Juan Guzman Day!
June 15th used to be the trading deadline. I always thought of that date as Tom Seaver Day.

As for other deadline deals, wasn't David Wells one in 1995?

Re: Happy Juan Guzman Day!
I remember Guzman didn't have shoes for his first start. He pitched in shoes that were a size too small.

Getting Seaver was just something that was unbelievable at the time. He was considered the best pitcher in the game then. When the Reds got him it just seemed like it was inevitable they would come back and win the division. Of course we know the story. They didn't and only made the playoffs once,1979, while he was here.At least the Reds were trying then. Now,well.........
