The Reds got themselves a second baseman and a middle-of-the-order galoot, which is the headline news here. Those are two things they absolutely needed and it’s important to keep that in perspective. The nits I am about to pick here are pretty small, all things considered.
The word on the street is that Moose will earn $64 million over the next four years. The Reds have that and plenty more to spare, and from everything I’ve read it seems like Moose is the kind of fella who deserves all the good things to come his way.
