YouCanPutItOnTheBoardYES! Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 They were one of the teams in on Wheeler apparently. Hopefully not anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YouCanPutItOnTheBoardYES! Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 That’s way more than I thought he would get. But good for him. He bet on himself and it worked, just like Grandal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at Ray Ray Run Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Just now, DirtySox said: Wow, this is a lot more than I figured. This is a bad contract by the Reds, but good on Mous. MLB teams seem to be handling this off-season a little differently... with the CBA coming to a close. Seems like ownership may be looking to reverse the salary suppression belief.

Seems like ownership may be looking to reverse the salary suppression belief. this was my prediction before the offseason, but I also just think this is what happens when about 1/2 of the teams are looking to add, compared to last year which felt like was less than 1/3.

I don't see it working as a negotiating strategy, but I imagine the FA"s this year are happy. How can one argue that Mous and Grandal are worth MORE this off-season than last? You can't, so the only explanation is the above imo. Edited December 2, 2019 by Look at Ray Ray Run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCalChiSox Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 The Reds needed offense badly and once Grandal was off the market, the agent had them cornered. They are prolly out on Wheeler now I imagine especially if they still want Gregorius. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfect Vision Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Reds were known to be interested in Grandal. They just gave a 4/64 deal to a worse player. Hard to believe they wouldn't have gone 4/73+ for Grandal now that we know this Moustakas contract. Big credit to Hahn and co. for jumping the market on him.
