This sucks on a couple fronts
1.) Reds have multiple DH’s
2.) We have to continue watching pitchers be awful at hitting.

we should have known that when jon fay reported there would be a universal DH going forward, that there would not be one.

Seems like the news is coming from Ken Rosenthal - https://www.rotoworld.com/baseball/m...medium=twitter. NL clubs supposedly being told to "proceed under the assumption" there will be no DH in the league next year.
A. That leaves the door open a little bit.
B. If so, the Reds are trading a bat (don't know who).
C. Hooray.
I'm not a system player. I am a system.
I imagine Moose and Castellanos are untradeable. And doing so would be in poor taste after having just signed them, wouldn’t bode well for their ability to sign free agents going forward. Especially with what they had to do to get them here in the first place.
I could see Winker being moved though.

Trading Winker out of those three would be dumb, but alas, you’re probably right. I’ve seen Winker brought up in some trade scenarios from rival beat writers (including for Correa from astros). Wonder if there is something to that.
If they trade Winker for a major league SS, I could accept that.

I don’t read this as definitive. DH could still be worked out.
Could be a trade, but -
Reds might keep everybody and go with a four outfielder set up, rotating, platooning, one guy fourth OF. Wink, Cast, Shogo, Senzel.

Tim McCarver: Baseball Quotes
I remember one time going out to the mound to talk with Bob Gibson. He told me to get back behind the batter, that the only thing I knew about pitching was that it was hard to hit.
