    Shogo sounds like a CFer to me. Maybe not always, but frequently. Raises all kinds of questions as to what Reds have in mind here.

    I am guessing that we won't hear of any more moves until after Shogo's presser. Let him bask in his day. Gonna be a long, slow next couple days.

    He's a CF'er. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of his contract.

    Reds payroll now at ~129 million per FG estimates, slightly below last year's 132. Time to see how much additional cash ownership provides.

    Cots has OD 2019 Reds’ active roster at $126.6 million. Cots’ estimate for the 2020 OD payroll is $125.8 million. That’s based on an assumption for Shogo of $6.66 million, pretty close to actual.

    Based on that, Reds are almost identical today as OD 2019. Quoted post suggests they are even a bit below 2019.

    One would still expect considerably more based on early off-season speculation. Reds themselves said there would be an increase, obviously they didn’t give a number.

    “We scouted Shogo for several years in anticipation of his free agency,” Williams said. “We like his approach at the plate as well as his outfield defense, and we think he will complement our team very well.”
