Just my final thoughts: home run hire, I was interested in Skip but was expecting someone like David Ross. I never imagined we’d get a guy with his resume given the fact we’re so cheap and having to pay Bell for two years not to manage and also because hiring Terry is going to cost them a lot of money. I don’t think he’d come out of retirement without a firm commitment from the ownership and front office to increase payroll to add to the nice young core we got either.

This team needed an old veteran manager and we probably got the best candidate on the market. Now we’ll see what the coaching staff looks like. The only one that probably stays is DJ and Krall said from the start he is under contract for next year and will be moving forward.

This is BIG! Major step forward.

I like DJ, hope it works out for him.

So glad to see this happen. I am getting too old to suffer through more mismanagement. I want my Reds back.

Made a qualifying offer for Martinez at $21 M. Good move IMO, will see what happens.
