The Reds made several moves this offseason, many of which can't be seriously judged for several years. But the best things to happen were two proposed deals that failed.
The Reds have been busy this offseason jumpstarting their rebuild reboot. Fan favorite third baseman Todd Frazier was shipped away to the Chicago White Sox in a three team deal that brought Jose Peraza, Scott Schebler, and Brandon Dixon to the Queen City from the City of Angels. Aroldis Chapman was set to move to the Weez Coast as well, before his trade value was torpedoed by allegations of domestic violence and irresponsible use of a firearm.
