Jeff  lives outside of Cincinnati, loves the Astros but is a historical Reds fan (even though he might not admit it).

And he was the Reds GM here for a while.

FYI, I made Art Howe a FA, with no player expenses levied to the Giants.

Anyone can make an in-season offer now.

[CSCommish]

To any player technically.

I love the era of the Big Red Machine and a few of the Reds as I was older. That being said I am pretty excited about our off season. Bring in Bench who we can afford (only 20M from making payroll before the season starts) to man catcher. Brought Boone back to be a back up that should hopefully get on base more than Bo Diaz and will provide defense behind the plate.  We Add Busby, Lyle and Reuschel to the staff which should sure up the rotation and pen a little. Koosman will retire in AAA but will retire an Astro. Was able to bring in 2 young players with Bystrom and Barfield.  This season may be a .500 season for us which is a small victory!!!!
