I wonder if he'll choose free agency?
I’m shocked.
He hit .224?!?!? And we tolerated .170 outta “Eh-U”
Very surprised at this.

Krall says the Reds approached Akiyama’s agent last year about getting him minor league at-bats, but Akiyama wasn’t interested at the time.
Also, Andrew Knapp was reassigned to minor league camp. Aramis Garcia is on track to be the backup catcher.

Akiyama cannot be sent to the minor leagues without his consent. He will be DFA'd by Opening Day if he declines his minor-league assignment. He declined to be sent to the minors last season.
Reds continue to make the hard decisions they failed to in past years in regard to keeping players.

It was the right move to make. I wish the guy well I don't doubt that he worked hard he just wasn't MLB material.

I believe this is indeed a smart move and in the best interest of the team, I agree with the move 100%
I just can't find delight in another's misery

So for Shogo his time in Cincinnati consisted of a negative WAR, him getting cut, and a tree falling on his wife. I bet he is ready to move on....
