“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”

It was a pretty good return, not great. Finnegan was the lead pitcher and many thought he was a reliever from Day 1. Cueto was a Cy Young runner up who could have been traded months sooner.
Right now Castillo is well-packaged. Coming off a great outing, pitching well, seems healthy. Other trade candidate pitchers injured.
So we’ll see how the Reds handle this. At this point they should be “on notice.”
Mahle on the IL? There goes the Reds’ pennant chances.

The older I get - the better I was
and yes - I hate the Cardinals (Reds fan since 1958)
I miss Raisor
We knew as soon as the lockout ended that there would be an abundance of injuries this season yet w there were fans complaining about having to carry extra pitchers on MLB rosters
From NIGHTENGALE TWITTER
Tyler Mahle hopes to return shortly after the All-Star break. MRI showed irritation but no major damage.

Might be saving the innings for his next team's stretch run. The deal may be in.

On Tyler Mahle, David Bell expects him to be back to make one of the first few starts after the break. Mahle won’t throw for 5-to-7 days.
Any word on who starts the other game of the doubleheader tomorrow?
...the 2-2 to Woodsen and here it comes...and it is swung on and missed! And Tom Browning has pitched a perfect game! Twenty-seven outs in a row, and he is being mobbed by his teammates, just to the thirdbase side of the mound.
Best I remember they were beating on their chest at that time and boasting about what a great return they got from Cueto-THREE LHP's with huge upsides! Finnegan was a first rounder, Lamb was tearing up AAA, and Reed was the prize of the haul.
Turns out that Lamb was battered mercilessly by MLB hitters before he took his >6 ERA and left town. Finnegan had one full season with an ERA around a flat 4 before he forgot how to pitch. Reed was probably the most frustrating of the bunch, pitching for the Reds in five different seasons. He pitched in the majors as recently as last season and has a career ernie>5. That's it, in return for probably the best SP to come out of their farm over the last 50 years they got one decent season.
Personally I'm not really excited over any midseason trade returns. If they had a competent front office I'd have a different opinion. Perhaps they get too greedy and delay pulling the trigger until it gets too late to the deadline and they have to settle for whatever some other team is willing to give them. As it is, I don't see the organization improving much by adding another Cody Reed, Dilson Herrera, or Keury Mella.
If they MUST part with their pitchers then perhaps they could package one with Moose to get his contract off their books, kind of like they did when they dumped Winker to get rid of Suarez.
They've actually had some compensation picks turn out so they might be better off keeping Castillo and tendering him before he walks. They probably won't and theorectically they should be able to bring in more from a trade, but past history bodes otherwise.

When Ian Gibault makes his first appearance, he will become the 28th player this season to make his Reds debut.
