    Apparently he has already waived his NTC.

    So who's going back? Kemp?

    Clearly, the thought is to buy another year to let Albies develop. This is the last year of his contract. He's 35.

    I like Phillips on some level, but not on this team. I guess they think they're in a different place than I do.

    Guess we'll see, depends on what we gave up. I'd have rather had KJ, but I guess it wasn't meant to be.

    Rosenthal says Rodriguez expected to be out 3-5 months.

    Source: Hurdles remain in Phillips talks between #Braves and #Reds. BP must be cleared medically. Injured left hand near end of last season.

    I wonder if the Reds' Competitive Balance Pick will somehow factor in.
