I’m sorry to say this Reds fans, but it’s time to move on from the idea of trading for Francisco Lindor. While I, like many of you, love the idea of Mr. Smile coming to the Queen City, it seems highly unlikely that it will happen. But, rather than sulk, fans should wrap their minds around the prospects of the Cincinnati Reds winning the NL Central without Lindor.
I’ve been effusive in my praise of what Dick Williams, Nick Krall, and the entire Reds front office has done this offseason. Adding Mike Moustakas, Shogo Akiyama, and Wade Miley are big-time moves that will pay dividends for Cincinnati this season.
