That's an interesting quote for many reasons...mostly that it's coming from Castellanos.

I'm guessing he wasn't supposed to say that...I hope he's right about Thursday but I have a feeling he isn't. MLB has held out Travis D'Arnaud and Tyler Flowers of the Brave for longer despite pretty much the same situation. Both had symptoms and both have tested negative. Both have yet to play this year.

“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”

I guess Castellanos just went ahead and gave the update on Senzel and Moose that Bell wasn't allowed to.

Yea, but that's not a viable long term strategy.. I know other posters say this too.
The idea that half the bullpen should be either kids, bounceback candidates, or relievers from AL and then
cross your fingers because relievers are volatile.. that's leaving too much to chance.
Every team counts on the relievers that were good the previous year being good the next. Or they trade those guys coming off good years to another team that thinks they will have a good year.
It's hard to have a good bullpen, I give you that. The Reds should have brought in more depth in the offseason. However, it was reasonable to expect that Garret and Lorenzen would perform similar to the year before. I don't remember anyone calling to dump Lorenzen over the winter while his value was high or because he just came off a good year. Likewise, it was reasonable to expect that Inglesis was going to continue to be erratic at best and to have a better contingency plan in place.
[Phil ] Castellini celebrated the team's farm system and noted the team had promising prospects who would one day be great Reds -- and then joke then they'd be ex-Reds, saying "of course we're going to lose them". #SellTheTeamBob
