CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Carlos Baerga always had time for reporters when he played for the Indians. Now he's become one. Baerga, who spent 14 years in the big leagues, hosts a popular podcast in Puerto Rico called "I Love Sports with Carlos Baerga and Friends." During the winter meetings in December, Baerga was first with the news that Cy Young winner…

Speaking of next year's free agents, Ian Happ is maybe now more inclined to bet on himself and not agree to an extension right now. If he has a repeat 2022 season, or improves, then he'll likely beat what Andrew Benintendi got from the White Sox, a five-year, $75 million contract. Speaking of contract extension, how about the Cubs get one done as…

Taking a look at three areas where the team may look to upgrade their roster heading into the 2023 season. The Diamondbacks have been busy churning their roster this off-season. Needing to address key needs such as adding a right-handed bat to add more balance to a roster that had gotten too left-handed, improving a bullpen that was arguably the…

Business remains brisk in the starting pitching marketplace. While the Cardinals have yet to make a move to improve their rotation quality or depth, other franchises have been busy. The Texas Rangers signed Nathan Eovaldi to a two-year, $34 million contract that could become a three-year, $63 million contract if he hits all of his bonuses and…

After four straight years at the bottom of the National League Central, the Reds moved up to fourth in 2019, 16 games behind St. Louis and 14 games out of postseason contention.

The announced attendance for the Oakland Athletics home game against the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday night was 3748. Ouch! Will the Cincinnati Reds experience similar crowds at Great American Ball Park this season? I think it's a fair question after watching both the Reds and the A's gut their respective teams this past offseason. The Reds said…

If my math is correct, and if the Cincinnati Reds haven't altered things since their final swath of decisions from earlier in the week, only 10 members of the Opening Day 28 were actually on the Opening Day roster this time last year. On top of that, not a single member of this year's bullpen was in last year's Opening Day bullpen (with the caveat…

The hardest part of breaking up is usually moving on. For the Cubs, the hardest part was how long the relationship dragged on. Chicago's clubhouse had to be a really uncomfortable place last season. The writing was on the wall like a big graffiti art piece that the team was going to undergo a lot of changes. The core of the 2016 World Series team…

Welcome to playoff baseball, where the "best" team wins the championship far less often than in other sports.

The MLB free-agency and trade market dominoes have continued to fall at a dizzying pace since the lockout was lifted as teams try to fit three months' worth of offseason activity into just a few weeks.

The Reds, last in the NL Central every year from 2015 to 2018, began pushing their chips to the middle of the table with the trade deadline acquisition of Trevor Bauer in 2019. After the 2019 season, they added free agent infielder Mike Moustakas, outfielder Nick Castellanos, and Japanese import Shogo Akiyama. The moves resulted in the team's first…

Hey man, I'm no pro prognosticator. I do these things every single year, or have for the last half-dozen, at least. I'm wrong. I'm oh, so wrong almost all of the time. Egregiously wrong, often, and that's due mostly to a mix of these being incredibly off the cuff and overtly optimistic to a fault. I want the Cincinnati Reds to do well, y'know. So,…

On the morning of August 28, the Reds were 71-59 and in second place in the National League Central.

Tyler Anderson was in that spot, wearing that uniform, for that moment.
