Geno has had his salary dumped *twice* during a contract where he's earned just $79 million across 8 years, socked 247 dingers, and put up 20.2 bWAR in the process

lmao go Reds I suppose
The Mariners trading Eugenio Suárez does not get enough heat as it should. They basically salary dumped him and they’ve since missed the playoffs by one game when they really needed offense, and are on the outside looking in now while he’s on a 60 HR pace.

#ImmaculateGrid today was basically name any player, so I picked some random guys.

Where's Quiñones? Right next to Billy Bates. @dotsonc.bsky.social will at least appreciate that reference.

Got my author’s copies of the newly-revised edition of The Big 50 today. You can find yours online or at bookstores in Reds Country.

@dotsonc.bsky.social and I updated everything, and added some new chapters covering the exciting 2023 Reds, top rookies, and legendary Reds fastballs.

This is a terrific article by Chad. Reds fans will love it.

I have a Wily Mo bobblehead
5000 days ago (May 21, 2011), Wily Mo Pena announces his presence with authority, hitting his first big league homer in nearly three years. Pena hit 26 homers in 336 AB for the Reds as a 22-year-old back in 2004, but has declined since. He hits .358/.440/.712 in AAA in 2011, struggling again in MLB.

Update: I haven’t deleted any social media accounts yet.
2025 needs to be the year I delete every single social media account I have.

Of course, many people have been begging me to do that for years.
