In 2019, the Reds added Sonny Gray, Trevor Bauer, Alex Wood, Tanner Roark, and Wade Miley to their team

Just sign Wood, as reports say that he is healthy.    He was solid in 2017-2018, pitching just over 300 innings in that timeframe. 

Unless there is a good trade to be made, I think that’s the best option...

I wouldn't consider any of those guys a top ten pitcher. 

Top ten pitcher = Any free agent not signed by the Angels

I’m filing “borderline aces” in our AW jargon folder.

Are we in agreement that it’s an above 4 ERA pitcher with a W-L around .500?

The reds gave up the equivalent of marsh, Sandoval and Calhoun for 1.5 years of Bauer.  

If that’s the kind of deal you want for this team, I don’t know what to say.

But at least Bauer gave them a 6.32 ERA last year.

I wonder how the fans at reds win.com felt about that one.

Seeing as they got a borderline ace, I'm sure they were ecstatic

Bill Neftleberg told them they could get Happ basically for free, and then said he was a huge Votto fan but hopes he never wins a World Series.

Was Bill Neftleberg an ass birth?

Bauer is a twat.

It's a requirement to be accepted at Hofstra.

File it right above "serviceable".  That's another AW jargon gem.

"Strive to be Serviceable" is the new motto I'm taking to work today

It's 2020 and so far we've added Castro and Keller. The Reds haven't done anything this year.

What team is really committed to winning?
