Btw treat Castellanos well. He was a monster for the Cubs after they acquired him last year. I personally am going to miss him on the Cubs and wish they could have brought him back.
I honestly think as long as we are winning and make a decent postseason run, he’ll stick around as Reds fans and Cincinnati as a city loves and supports the sh!t out of the team.....when we’re competing lol
I’m from Louisville so also a pretty big reds market only being a little over an hour away

He’s a 2 fWAR player at best lmao. If anybody thinks he’ll come even close to doing what he did for a month with the Cubs, for a full year, is insane. He wasn’t worth a big contract.

I think he will rake in GABP (again, biased opinion).
But he’s been a consistent hitter for the past 3 years and improved each year....
Just sounds like you’re a touch salty for him being with your inner division rival lol
I’ll be shocked if he doesn’t produce

Not salty at all. He only finished with a 121 wRC+ last year and 2.8 fWAR. Even after his monster streak with the cubs, that’s all he could muster. I think the reds were smart for doing a one year deal, because he just isn’t worth a 5-6 year deal.
If you remove his August of 2019, he would finish the year with a 105 wRC+. He will not replicate 179 wRC+ for a full season, or even close to it. His ceiling is 130, which isn’t bad by any means, but isn’t amazing when you can’t play defense to save your life.

Agree on the contract terms, low risk high reward
I still think he shines in the hitter friendly ballpark of GABP

Don't need OF defense in GABP.

Just got PTO approved from work and my buddy and I just purchased Opening Day tickets for the Reds game!
So excited as I’ve never been to Opening Day before and Cincinnati throws a huge parade for the game and I’ve heard nothing but great things about the experience!
Found tickets in pretty good seats for a little over $100 a piece and I’m already counting down the days to March 26th!
Go Reds baby! 2020 NL Central Champs
Money well spent. Enjoy man!

I only been to one Dodgers opening day, Tickets are hard to get and if you do not get them from the stadium they sky rocket.

This is awesome. I hope to do this some day myself when my kids are a little older. I tell myself that I won’t mind if my kids aren’t great baseball players, but I hope they love watching baseball. That way I can use them as an excuse for going to different stadiums.
