Grandal had a better case for not accepting his QO, and regretted it.

Good post. I guess I feel that since the Reds just cut Kemp and ate the salary, they could have done the same with Homer.
So to me, the interesting part of the deal is the two prospects for the other Dodgers plus whatever cash LA sent us (it is too complicated for me to remember)
Overall, I am glad they made the deal. Not sure if it will be eventually graded as a "win" or not (Based on results).
The television crews left and about 10 reporters remained in the room. That's when Price took his turn doing the talking.
What followed was a five-minute, 34-second expletive-filled tirade. The final tally was 77 uses of the "F" word or a variant and 11 uses of a vulgar term for feces (two bovine, one equine).
Nobody here seems willing to buy this, I tried to get into it awhile back.
But for several reasons the net amount due Kemp by the Reds when released was substantially less than Reds owed Bailey ($28 million).
Kemp was originally due less than Bailey for 2019, the Dodgers’ cash payment to Reds in the trade off-sets some salary, as do (potentially) amounts still due from other teams for Kemp's salary, and amounts already paid to Kemp for playing for Reds this season. Not sure Reds only ate $7 million, but it was certainly less it would have cost to release Homer before the season.

I get what you are saying, but I would probably rather do that than sign him for long term. If he comes back healthy and does what he typically does someone is offering him $50M+ and he's turning down that QO. If he somehow takes it you have a really good SP at $18M for 1 year commitment. Could be a lot worse.
All my posts are my opinion - just like yours are. If I forget to state it and you're too dense to see the obvious, look here!

I wouldn’t give Wood $10 million next year. Back issues are really difficult to fix, basically if it does get 100% better you are basically lucky. I would rather that money get spent on a non gigantic question mark. Let Wood be someone else’s problem.
What would you say.....ya do here?

“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”
No thanks on Wood for next season. Starting pitchers are too important to waste a spot on a back injury guy. Too much risk, even at a lower salary.
