Yeah weird freak foot injury aside, that was still a worthy gamble by the Reds, those risks are always there with any player, the only way to avoid it is to not take any risk at all.
He does perform when he’s on the field, and has historically been a solid performer. Seems like one of our key guys in the clubhouse too. I’m still glad they signed him, I feel good about his odds of working out for the rest of his deal too. Worst case scenario he takes over 1B next year with the DH coming back and save some wear and tear on his freakishly deformed hooves.

I’d be careful, I made a post goofing on the pandemic of weird foot injuries striking the team a couple weeks ago, and then I myself came down with weird foot issues of my own (or just bought the wrong pair of new running shoes or something.) It’s making me feel old as hell.
I think when they are on the road he's washing cars at Jake Sweeny... because he IS that much of a team player

Buyers
Milwaukee Brewers
The Brewers are built to succeed in the postseason, if they can get there. They have three top-of-the-rotation starters in Brandon Woodruff, Corbin Burnes and Freddy Peralta, and two shutdown back-of-the-bullpen relievers in Josh Hader and Devin Williams. They are an elite defensive team, when healthy, with Gold Glove winners up the middle and in the corner outfield positions. But do the Brewers have enough offense to make the playoffs? At the deadline, they should be targeting Kyle Seager of the Mariners and considering reunions with former Brewers like Jesús Aguilar of the Marlins or Mike Moustakas of the Reds. Taking on bad contracts (Seager, Moustakas) is a more realistic option for Milwaukee because it has a weak farm system and little to offer in trades.
Could go either way
Cincinnati Reds
The Reds have one of the most dynamic offenses in baseball, scoring more than 10 runs in a game more times this season than any other team. But they’re also losing money and could benefit from shedding payroll. Their play over the next six weeks will determine if they’re buyers or sellers.
