Four baseball games between eight different baseball teams will take place today, and not a single one of them will feature the Cincinnati Reds. Drat.
On the plus side, though, is that our dear Reds have actually managed to make some news in the baseball world this week. They announced the hiring of Driveline Baseball’s Kyle Boddy while also having Head Decision-Maker Guy Dick Williams go on record as stating the Reds will be very, very active this winter in pursuit of a postseason bid in 2020. Williams even intimated that the club is prepared to dip into the free agent market for the first time since the dawn of civilization, and the Reds have already seen their name linked to top free agent catcher Yasmani Grandal in the first real hot stove rumors of the offseason.
