https://www.mlb.com/breaking-news/reds-outfield-searchReds general manager Nick Krall didn't specify the type of outfielder they're profiling.
"I'd just say we're looking for the best player we can -- a guy who can hit and play defense," Krall said. "You look for the best guy you can get for the money. It's just trying to figure out who the best guy you can bring to your club is -- who is at the most reasonable dollar and continue to work the market."

The Puig and Sonny Gray deals were done after the winter meetings.

The Krall quote mentions money twice in three lines, the “best guy you can get for the money”; “who is at the most reasonable dollar and continue to work the market.”
We can see where this may be headed.
They aren't the Yankees, they don't have blank checks to hand out. Doesn't mean they aren't going to spend.
Lot of overreactions caused by the Gregorius thing.
“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”

Right. And that off-season led to 75-87.
Thought this year might be different.

true....but the little hints it felt like ownership/management were dropping in recent weeks, I feel like they may have expected to have more completed this week.

You’re right they aren’t the Yankees. Unfortunately they are the Reds. Still. Apparently in every respect.
Good to know they supposedly were after Tanner Roark, didn’t get him, and now are looking for an outfielder who “is at the most reasonable dollar.’ Very inspiring.

It’s definitely starting to feel like a sitting at home making a mixtape type of offseason.
The Moose signing is nice, but not nearly enough to compete. IF the reds don’t add much more I’m going to hate how there were a bunch of reports the reds felt like the time to go for the division was now and whatnot.
My thoughts will be: you mean to tell me you recognized the time was now to make a move for the division and you still couldn’t pull the trigger?
its becoming increasingly difficult to follow the reds.

Rome wasn’t built in a day. You’re usually a pretty level headed dude. Give it some more time. There are still some very good players on the board that have been connected to the Reds.

If not for an offhand Heyman tweet, who would know or care that they were talking to Roark before he signed with Toronto?

Andrew Friedman: "If you're always rational about every free agent, you will finish third on every free agent."
EXACTLY.

More time? Bruh. The reds have 4 winning seasons since 2000.
It’s time to stop giving this organization “more time.”
Not signing Didi is absolutely inexcusable.

I think it’s more than Gregorius. Here, I made a mark-up.

Replace “self loathing” with “realization the reds are going to lose 85+ games again” and yeah

Fair. Maybe they will step up to the plate. Just some ominous signs IMO.
