Greinke has a lot of really good teams on his no trade list.

I seriously have no idea what Jerry Dipoto is doing. Its like he wants to rebuild, but just can't pull the trigger. Its like he is allergic to the terms "prospect" and "rebuild"...
Why in the world would you undercut any chance you had at competing by trading away Paxton and Diaz, only to turn around and start trading some of your best assets for major league pieces? It just makes zero sense to me.
The Ms will be re-losing for a while

The Reds have non-tendered Billy Hamilton....if he is cheap enough i'd be all over him off the bench....he doesn't have a good bat, but for someone to pinch run, he'd be great...
Anyone know how he rates defensively?

I'd be so happy if we signed Billy Hamilton. Not for any particular baseball reason, but I played travel ball with him as a kid and played against him in high school when he played at Taylorsville. He was the fastest 16 year old kid I had ever seen. If he hit the ball on the ground, he was on base. Nothing you could do.
Billy Hamilton 4th outfielder?
Yan Gomes traded to the Nats, per reports. Expected to be done this weekend sometime.
Not sure where you get his defense is bad. He has one of the best arms in baseball and has roughly average range in RF. Graded out positive defensively in RF each of the last 2 years.
I doubt we've seen his best season on offense. He had a near identical season in 2018 as he had in 2017. Higher walk rate and lower K rate too. All signs that he is actually improving.
