Posted October 26, 200618 yr Multipe radio hosts in Cincinnati reported that A-Rod met with "high up" Reds' officials today. Things that make you go hmmmmm
October 26, 200618 yr whoa. I don't know what else that it could be about besides a trade possibility. Interesting.
October 26, 200618 yr I'll eat my hat if: 1) The Reds trade Homer Bailey and 2) ARod waives his no trade to go to Cincy.
October 26, 200618 yr I'll eat my hat if: 1) The Reds trade Homer Bailey and 2) ARod waives his no trade to go to Cincy. I think Homer Bailey far outweighs any potential offense ARod might bring. While in the case of our Marlins where we can afford to trade young pitching, there is such a dearth of it in Cinci that it would not be wise. And why would ARod wave his no-trade clause to go to Cincy? Someone give me a concrete reason.

It would be Dunn and something else.
October 26, 200618 yr arod was just scoping out future poker tournament sites... atleast i hope that was his reason
October 26, 200618 yr Author arod was just scoping out future poker tournament sites... atleast i hope that was his reason Why would he be talking to high officials for the Reds then?
October 26, 200618 yr Wouldnt teams have to get Major League approval to talk to players still under contract? and maybe I missed it, but why no post on RedsZone about it?
October 26, 200618 yr Wouldnt teams have to get Major League approval to talk to players still under contract? I was thinking that as I was reading this. Seems a little fishy.

October 26, 200618 yr Listen, you aren't getting ARod unless it's a trade centered around pitching. An outfielder isn't getting it done. They've already got 4 (Abreu, Damon, Cabrera, Matsui) and a 5th (Sheff) they can bring back. It's Bailey or not even on the table.

And I never said it would just be Dunn, just that I thought he would be included. I think the Yankees want pitching for right now, and Bailey may not be ready.

They've got two of those* too (Giambi, Phillips)

Tell you what, if ARod ends up in Cincy, without Bailey ending up in New York, I'll buy you his authentic jersey.

October 26, 200618 yr Then Cincy could market itself as having two overpriced superstars past their prime and positive defensive value. X - And I support A-Rod and nearly everything about him
