Marte was injured playing winter ball last night and had to be helped off the field. Looks like a hammy injury.

Surely he'll be ready by the time Spring Training comes around.Quote:

And so far, no other source is picking up the story. If it were very serious, there’d be more chirping about it at this point I feel.Quote:

News out of Minnesota is that they're trying to pare payroll.
Who'd say no if the Reds offered Tyler Stephenson and a (far) lesser prospect (Jose Barrero? Carson Spiers?) for C Christian Vazquez and his $10M per season two-year contract, with the idea of adding both RHRP Kody Funderburk and UT Kyle Farmer (and his likely $6.6M arbitration payout)?
Funderburk's minor league numbers scream back of the pen upside, plus he's cheap and controllable. Vazquez is supposedly exceptional defensively and can occasionally hit a bit as well. Farmer fixes both the short-side platoon and defensive middle infield backup issues.
Agree, but until we hear more detail, I don't think we should assume.Quote:
