Yeah, you're probably looking more at trading guys like Siani, Callihan, or Johnson. I do think Heatherly is in that group though.

From Passan Twitter:
Closer Brad Hand and the Washington Nationals are in agreement on a one-year, $10.5 million contract, sources familiar with the deal tell ESPN.
Hand winds up with more than his option and will be the Nationals’ new closer.

Probably a fair trade, but I wouldn’t do that if I were the Reds. They need prospects, and trading 4 decent ones for such a high risk, short term player doesn’t make much sense right now,
Anyway, those four are probably too old and too low of a ceiling for the Pirates. They probably would have chosen the Yankees offer over that.

I don’t think trade matches what the Yankees gave up. I’ve read two of the guys the Pirates get are close to the majors, probably be up with Pirates in 2021. None of these guys listed from the reds are even remotely close to the majors. Also, I don’t think any of them are as good as Smith.
What would you say.....ya do here?

Nice story from
@_MattWilkes
on why Michael Lorenzen is well-positioned to earn a spot in the rotation. Interesting to see how his fastball and changeup have improved in recent years.
Reds Content Plus (RC+) @RedsContentPlus
Michael Lorenzen wants to start, and he'll likely get another opportunity to do so in spring training. With the improvements he's made since Derek Johnson came to town, Lorenzen is poised for success this time. http://redscontentplus.com/2021/01/m...ting-rotation/

I was 12 or 13 when that film came out. Needless to say, that scene made quite an impression on me.

The letter, obtained and published by KPNX TV in Phoenix, was signed by Bridget Brinsbacher, Executive Director of the Cactus League, an association that works with Major League Baseball to host the 15 teams that train in Arizona.
It was also signed by the mayors or city managers of the eight cities that host teams.

The most interesting part of this letter is the signature of the mayor of Glendale, Arizona ... where the Arizona Coyotes are currently playing regular-season NHL games ... in front of fans ...

Bob Nightengale tweet - Mets are favorites for Bauer with record-setting average annual contract offer.
Feinsand tweet, per source - Mets offer doesn’t eclipse the Gerrit Cole annual AAV to this point, but are in the mix.
Whatever the precise offer, Mets seem to be strongly in the hunt for Bauer.
