Perfectly said. The Reds spent most of 2014-current buried in zero payflex.
And they are also in the backend of the last few Votto $25M years. They have to pay the piper without anything on the field to show for some bad contract and management decisions. It sucks but the market size constrains buying their way out of the lack of payflex mess of their own doing.

Or just keep Miley. There's no way Castellanos' price drops low enough for the Reds to be interested.. Someone will offer him more than 2 years at 4 million per year.
He's a lock to get at least as much money as Sterling Marte, which is way more than the Reds would spend.
I know you are talking hypothetically, I am just rolling my eyes that someone actually thinks it's possible for Cast to come back to Cincy. Just like people thought there was a chance Bauer would come back. Not going to happen.

[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

MLB's deadline to tender contracts for the 2022 season is 8 p.m. tonight.
#Reds have 10 arbitration-eligible players: Tyler Naquin, Luis Cessa, Luis Castillo, Tyler Mahle, Jesse Winker, Amir Garrett, Kyle Farmer, Jeff Hoffman, Lucas Sims and Nick Senzel.
Imagine if the Reds non-tender Castillo

We do know that it is not going to happen. There are multiple, reliable reports that other teams have made offers for Castillo that the Reds have turned down, and that the Reds asking price is for Castillo is sky high. The Reds are not going to non-tender a player when there are multiple offers for him that they are turning down.
