Exploring a long-term contract between the Cincinnati Reds and Anthony DeSclafani

Anthony DeSclafani just got bonked around for 10 hits in 5+ IP on Sunday, in what was just his second start of the 2018 season for the Cincinnati Reds. An oblique injury in Spring Training put him on the 60-day DL shelf to start the season, just as a similar oblique injury did to him back in 2016. Those balky obliques bookend a completely lost 2017 season, one where he threw precisely zero pitches for the Reds as he rehabbed through a sprained ligament in his right throwing elbow.

A model of perfect health he has not been, to be sure.
