Baseball geek in me is excited to see what jersey # Shogo wears.

I see Akiyama serving primarily in RF after The Reds sign Castellanos and then trade for Mookie Betts. Add that on to the inevitable Lindor acquisition and the lineup should be pretty strong.

All my posts are my opinion - just like yours are. If I forget to state it and you're too dense to see the obvious, look here!

Been a big winter for Reds. Assuming they lock up Shogo, he adds to Moose and Miley. By far the most improved team in NL Central (and a couple of the others went backward!)

But are those guys sure things?
I mean, Castellanos can't catch a cold and could fall down and wipe out Betts or another better player. (To be fair, those better players are not Cincinnati Reds' guys. All the Reds' guys suck. Until they don't.)
And Betts was really lucky two years ago and saw his WAR drop by nearly four last year. Should that happen again, he'd be nearly league average. And he's really expensive. That might make the rest of the Reds really angry and cause them to quit. Better to avoid that whole thing. Beside, Reds = cheap. Always.
