There are a lot of interesting names on that list, and a few that could be good fits in Cincinnati. As long as we don't get anyone on that list whose name rhymes with "Spaniel Lescalso", I'll be fine.
Also from MLBTR, Jocketty "hasn't discussed" Cespedes
You and I both know you have, Walter. If you haven't, you aren't doing your job.
I'm a fan of this line of thinking. If we don't think Jay Bruce is going to bounce back and be better in 2015, it's about to be a long offseason.
Longtime MLB umpire Dale Scott comes out as gay
Cool that he got to come out on his own terms, and it looks great for MLB that they've seemingly known and it hasn't affected how he's been treated. Granted, it's 2014, so a huge organization treating people equally shouldn't exactly be news, but it's still a refreshing read.
