Really moving the needle here
Noted Red Garrett Hampson returns to the fold.
Reds legend Garrett Hampson is more accurate
Before all the original “Reds are cheap/SelltheTeamBob” comments – every team signs these kind of guys to minor league contracts. Sometimes it’s a way to have some experienced players as emergency depth, sometimes it’s a no risk way to see if a guy has any value, and sometimes it’s literally just to fill out the minor league roster.
We will sign anything but an effective outfielder
I’ve discovered that if you are having difficulty falling asleep, you just need to read the reds off-season activity and it’ll bore the shit out of you.
Hampson is whatever. Never going to complain about a minor league contract.
I still think Staumont is a guy who can figure it out and return to being a good reliver at some point. Guy had a live arm a few years ago. Glad they’re not giving up on him yet.
No matter at all
Is this a repost from last off-season?
Frustrating that it’s little moves instead of some much needed power in the lineup. But at least they didn’t sign Max Kepler.
