Chris, I know you’ll know this. How much will it cost the Reds to designate Ortiz for assignment? Also, have you noticed that the guys O’Brien brought in are having worst seasons than the guys we already had on the roster? It seems the Reds have taken a giant step backwards.
It won’t cost the Reds anything, except perhaps the major league minimum over the final 3 months of the season assuming they replace him with a minor leaguer. His salary is already a sunk cost, so there is no additional expenditure to release him.

Now another single. Four hitters, four hits.

How many pitchers have had the worst season of their career under Gullet?
Hey, there are “pitching to contact”. I’d say by the way balls are flying out of GABP, the Reds staff understands the concept.
