Bryce Spalding @brycespalding.bsky.social · 10/12/2024Not sure what is more wild. Alex Cobb getting $15M or Frankie Montas getting 2/$34M. Pitching market is INSANE. 030
Bryce Spalding @brycespalding.bsky.social · 08/12/2024#Reds signed former #41 overall pick, Lenny Torres Jr. to a Minor League deal with an invite to MLB ST. Torres has battled injury but has a big arm and had a great year in AA pitching out of the bullpen. 51.2 IP 2.26 ERA - 3.46 FIP 18.7 K-BB% 080
Bryce Spalding @brycespalding.bsky.social · 07/12/2024Noelvi Marte is 7 for his last 47 with 12 K/3 BB in the Dominican Winter League. 250
Bryce Spalding @brycespalding.bsky.social · 06/12/2024I wonder what Tampa would need for Logan Driscoll? 294 PA in AAA .292/.367/.473 119 wRC+ 20.7 K% Did struggle in his brief cameo offensively, but underlying metrics point to some poor luck. Good defensive numbers (+2 CS above avg, +1 framing) in 15 MLB games. Could be a cheap backup C. #Reds 010

Bryce Spalding @brycespalding.bsky.social · 02/12/2024*The year is 2027, Jasson Dominguez is still the Yankees #1 prospect, and projects to be hitting 4th and playing CF in their 2030 lineup* 140
Bryce Spalding @brycespalding.bsky.social · 01/12/2024He’s been posing quite a bit on his instagram working out and stuff, but I think Candy looks good. He’s probably the biggest x-factor for the offense. They need a bounce back, healthy year. I think he got too much flack for playing through a tough injury in 2024. #Reds 090
Bryce Spalding @brycespalding.bsky.social · 27/11/2024… the #Reds have 2 left handed pitchers in their rotation…. And Kyle Boddy works in the Red Sox org now…. Hm. 120

Bryce Spalding @brycespalding.bsky.social · 25/11/2024If I see another person tell me that Edwin Arroyo is going to “take” Elly De La Cruz spot at SS I’m gonna lose my mind. Respectfully to anyone who thinks that, of course. 470
Bryce Spalding @brycespalding.bsky.social · 25/11/2024Interesting. Feels like Napoli could step into a more prominent role down the line for the #Reds.. 240
Bryce Spalding @brycespalding.bsky.social · 25/11/2024If the Royals try and move India to LF given how big their outfield is, I think there’s a decent chance he breaks the negative OAA record. But also, if you traded for him to DH, I feel like that’s kind of a weird fit given he’s a league average hitter over the last 3 seasons, too. Idk. 140
Bryce Spalding @brycespalding.bsky.social · 25/11/2024"Teams believe that the #Reds’ payroll will rise considering their investment in manager Terry Francona" I think offering Martinez the QO was the first sign that they’re going to be aggressive this offseason, truthfully. Hope they keep going. 0100
Reposted by Bryce SpaldingMatt Eddy @matteddyba.bsky.social · 25/11/2024Two teams I like for 2025 who aren't getting a ton of buzz: Reds and Athletics. Terry Francona was shrewd to take the Reds job. That team is ready to blast off Elly De La Cruz has MVP upside, other hitters are primed to bounce back—and that young power pitching! Team flaws can be easily addressed 3367
Bryce Spalding @brycespalding.bsky.social · 25/11/2024Last 3 seasons: Player A: 85 GS - 492.2 IP - 4.15 ERA - 3.94 FIP - 3.73 xFIP 7.4 fWAR - 15.1 K-BB% - 1.29 WHIP - 43.8 HH% - 8.0 barrel% Player B: 84 GS - 444 IP - 4.24 ERA - 4.20 FIP - 3.61 xFIP 5.1 fWAR - 19.1 K-BB% - 1.30 WHIP - 44.2 HH% - 10.5 barrel% 241
Bryce Spalding @brycespalding.bsky.social · 24/11/2024Hector Rodriguez keeps hitting in the Dominican Winter League…. .361/.375/.472 over 40 PA 2 XBH 6 K/2 BB Next step in his progression is not swinging at everything. The bat to ball skills are high level, he needs to start developing his plate approach. Good news is he’s only 20. #RedsMiLB #Reds 0100
Bryce Spalding @brycespalding.bsky.social · 24/11/2024.205/.262/.333 is what Noelvi Marte is currently slashing in the Dominican Winter League…. Did the #Reds seriously get another José Barrero….? 690
Bryce Spalding @brycespalding.bsky.social · 23/11/2024Think Alec Bohm addition makes a lot of sense for the #Reds now. 570
Reposted by Bryce SpaldingRob Bradford @bradfo.bsky.social · 23/11/2024Per source, Mike Napoli will be joining Terry Francona and the Reds in some capacity. Had been Cubs’ first base coach. 46520
Bryce Spalding @brycespalding.bsky.social · 23/11/2024It’s interesting to see the similarities between Tauchman and India. Both high OBP, low slug guys. Tauchman is a limited outfielder, but graded average, can play CF. India had his first positive defensive season in ‘24. One non-tendered, one traded for a quality SP. 1120
Bryce Spalding @brycespalding.bsky.social · 23/11/2024#Reds being at 37/40 on the 40-man AFTER the R5 guys have been added + non-tender deadline has passed is fun. Think we’re in for an eventful offseason. Just the beginning. 0120
Bryce Spalding @brycespalding.bsky.social · 23/11/2024Surprised to see the pushback over trading India for Singer tbf. From a pure production standpoint, the #Reds acquire the much more productive player. Singer 3 more fWAR over the last 3 seasons than India. 5180
Bryce Spalding @brycespalding.bsky.social · 19/11/2024Some early names I could see taken in R5 draft come December… Dom Hamel Mike Vasil T.J Brumfield Sammy Siani 000
Bryce Spalding @brycespalding.bsky.social · 19/11/2024Tyler Callihan and Luis Mey added to 40-man roster for the #Reds. Little surprised that's it, but happy for both guys. 050

Bryce Spalding @brycespalding.bsky.social · 19/11/2024Jesse Rogers of ESPN put out his annual exec survey of the offseason and the #Reds popped up a few times: (1) Prediction for Blake Snell (1) Prediction for Max Fried (3) Predictions for "Most Active Small-Market Team" 370
Bryce Spalding @brycespalding.bsky.social · 19/11/2024Diving into Alex Jackson a bit more… Career .783 OPS in his minor league career 81st percentile framing 82nd percentile bat speed I’m not sure why he’s been *so bad* in his 340 MLB PA. He just forgets how to hit lol. #Reds 270
Bryce Spalding @brycespalding.bsky.social · 19/11/2024What kind of deal do we think Conforto gets? I doubt he gets more than Joc, O’Neill, Profar. @claysnow.bsky.social article really got me wanting him in Cincinnati. The underlying numbers are nutty. 570

Bryce Spalding @brycespalding.bsky.social · 18/11/2024Shenton would be the #Reds 2nd(?) best strictly left handed hitter in the entire organization. 160
Bryce Spalding @brycespalding.bsky.social · 18/11/2024It’s really awesome to see how far Tyler Stephenson has come. Nick Martinez has been around. That’s not a light compliment. 190
Reposted by Bryce SpaldingMark Sheldon @msheldon.bsky.social · 18/11/2024More Martinez: "This was just because of deadlines and stuff to accept the qualifying offer.

Bryce Spalding @brycespalding.bsky.social · 18/11/2024I think Emilio Pagan is a guy that very well could be dealt this offseason given his $8m price tag. He could have some suitors too, even if the #Reds had to eat $1-2M 030
Bryce Spalding @brycespalding.bsky.social · 18/11/2024Krall’s in-season roster management last year felt on par with how the season went. It legitimately felt like the season was doomed when McLain got hurt in ST. 391
Bryce Spalding @brycespalding.bsky.social · 18/11/2024O/U 2.5 trades for the #Reds this winter? I think I’d go over. I think they’ll be very active. 5110
Bryce Spalding @brycespalding.bsky.social · 18/11/2024Happy movement week in MLB! Finally some deadlines are here. Non-tender deadline coming, R5 eligible deadline is tomorrow. Some action. 150
Bryce Spalding @brycespalding.bsky.social · 17/11/2024Happy for Nick Martinez and happy the #Reds retain a high quality arm for another year. Let’s go add to the offense now. 0120
Bryce Spalding @brycespalding.bsky.social · 17/11/2024Someone made a good point… Everyone wants to point to Singer home/road, but what about India? 2024: H: .273/.375/.474 A: .225/.342/.318 Career: H: .266/.364/.444 A: .241/.341/.381 I never realized how large his splits are. 160
