What's going on with the American League this year? Only two teams over .500?
Same reason there's so many above .500 teams in the NL, interleague play has been going the NL's way this year.Quote:

Reds Revenge tour begins today.
Enough losing.
When the going gets tough . . . .
This Reds season reminds me of a lyric from the old Frank Sinatra song That’s Life.
Riding High in April, shot down in May.
That ends right now.
Probably in wrong thread but putting the baseball world on notice. The Reds winning resumes now.

Giants traded their C to Cleveland for a decent look AA starter and a competitive balance pick this year. I would have done that for Stephenson if it was possible.
The Guardians sent their version of Stephenson to AAA.Quote:

Not much of a comparison between him and TS, as he is the elite defensive catcher in the league.Quote:

Yeah, he doesn't hit, but the Reds don't really have a plan for life after Stephenson. And basically no catchers can hit, so you might as well get some defense out of the position. I thought Trevino would be that guy, but his D has really slipped from his peak.
