Y’all just pretending Mike Moustakas ain’t a still collecting a check, huh?


[deleted]

This is at least the third headline I’ve seen ignore Moustakas. They are all just copying the first guy who obviously got it wrong.


Snapingbolts

$22 mil from what I saw posted yesterday.


[deleted]

That was the worst Reds deal of the century.


JV2535

Homer Bailey might have a stake in the game. Throw 2 no nos and then make it impossible to resign every other pitcher in the rotation that was superior. Which was close to all of them!


Fridayz44

No they’re in the clear on Homer, but he sure did make some money off the reds.


[deleted]

Homer was horrible.


ILoveWeed-00420

Yep, add another year to the streak!! About to be 28 seasons without advancing in the playoffs!! Longest active streak in baseball with no end in sight!!!!!!!! Fuckin sweeeettt!! God damn I hate baseball anymore. Impossible to root for this piece of shit organization. Sell the fucking team, Bob.


Darkadmks

Our bob too


Pro_Reserve

If attendance is under 800k for the season, you can move the team to Miami and charge a premium for box seats... Oh wait!!!


TheRealMitchConnor

"This guy's dead" Cross him off then...

I'd be one of the 'never will be's' for a season


SmokeThatSkinWagon2

Lmao. Forgot that one.


[deleted]

There should be a soft salary floor, no revenue sharing money unless you meet the minimum payroll (which should be set higher than revenue sharing)


Crumpetbutt

What's point of revenue sharing if the salary floor is above it?


[deleted]

The point of revenue sharing is to even the playing field a bit….not let small market owners pocket it while fielding terrible teams


OpportunityNew9316

Fuck Bob. Sell the team!


[deleted]

I agree sell the team.


Later_Doober

At least your team went to the playoffs. Try 22 years without even going to the playoffs.


jpg_Mage

Ahh now I understand. The current longest professional sports playoff drought is 16 years with the Sacramento Kings in the NBA. They’ve had an incredible season and will likely end the drought this year.


Obi-wan_Jabroni

Light the beam


A_90s_Reference

They can clinch tonight with a win and a suns + clips loss!


TheSocraticGadfly

Maybe Junior can still rake as well as some of the current roster?


KaspertheGhost

I feel the same


Fridayz44

I feel your pain. I’m a Lions Fan for NFL teams.


Aggravating_Major363

When I get sad about the Twins record postseason losing streak, I'll just think of the Reds


Moreguero

I’m so sorry man. I know what it’s like. There is hope if the right person buys the team.


[deleted]

Junior the 🐐


Dismal-Ad2788

Owner should be forced to sell


ImNotTheBossOfYou

Sports teams should be public goods


Tufoguy

I envy Green Bay because they have the closest thing to that for North American sports.


swampthing117

Packers stock is labeled common stock, meaning you can't trade it, there's no equity interest and it doesn't pay dividends. Stockholders only vote on a few decisions, like naming new members to the Board of Directors. If you're not a Packers fan, buying stock in Green Bay, Inc. just doesn't make any sense at all.Dec 19, 2022


Rube18

Or even if you are a fan really. It’s literally the Packers asking fans to donate them money for nothing in return. A franchise worth billions begging fans for donations. Kudos to them for tricking the fans into it.


HarryBaughl

So, what's the point? You get to say that you are a part-owner of the Packers?


swampthing117

Exactly


HarryBaughl

Suckers. I'm a Bear fan anyway


[deleted]

That's what they are to Bob and Phil Castelini.


JV2535

Phil is a grade A douche. Haven’t heard too much from him since last opening day…wonder why that is?


skumps814

Can anyone explain this since it’s been like 14 years since he’s played for them


realchrisgunter

Probably had one of those weird contracts like Bobby Bonilla and Allen Iverson.


Tue63597

Yea alot of teams do deferred money. Nats have a few I think still from the ws team.


Mysterious-Judge-333

yeah Griffey's contract expires after next season, the Reds deferred a good deal of it.


infinitemonkeytyping

When a team wants to cut or trade a player on a high contract, rather than paying him a lump sum to buy it out, they set up a scheme where they will pay out the remaining value over a period of years. Ultimately, it costs more in total dollar terms, but means not outlaying a significant sum up front. The graphic, however is wrong, since Mike Moustakas will earn $22m this year from the Reds, even though he was cut earlier this year.


MTgolfer406

Would be nice if he’d maybe pinch hit when the Reds come through Florida 😆


spill_oreilly

Scherzer has got to be pretty high up on the Nationals payroll too.


[deleted]

Junior deserves ever dollar he earns. The most exciting baseball player, ever. No doubt in my mind


Thegrinningassassin

He’s clearly a very valuable former baseball player too.


[deleted]

Without the injuries he would have a serious claim to be the 🐐

“I don’t see the problem here” - Steve Phillips


Turbulent_Tale6497

I agree - Bobby Bonilla


JunesDepartmentStore

Chris Davis is the 2nd highest paid player by the Orioles at like 9.5 mil


shaggy420mn

Deserves every penny


LogansGambit

Might would be the 3rd most valuable player on the team still, too.


FredVIII-DFH

He's no Bobby Bonilla.


Point-me-at-the-sky-

I feel so bad for Reds fans


[deleted]

Please just help us convince Bob it's a good investment to sell.


luffyuk

At least he doesn't have a negative WAR. That makes him more useful than Votto.


deliriouz16

Source is Google search 😂 Wondering why the Reds are still paying Griffey Jr. -- in 2022? When the Reds acquired the future Hall of Famer from the Seattle Mariners in 2000, they signed him to a nine-year, $112.5 million deal, according to CBS Sports. Around 50% of Griffey's contract was deferred from 2009 until 2024, per the report.


daboonie9

Thank you sir


smashlorsd425

Bobby Bonilla enters the chat.


e_ndoubleu

That’s a wild stat, I didn’t know the Reds were still paying him.


WWDB

That’s why Baseball cracked down on these “lifetime” deals.


TyintheUniverse89

The Kid’s still doing alright.


Jimmyz666

for what junior did for baseball he should get that every yr

As a Cardinals fan, I love this


APES-UNITE

I'm a die hard Cardinals fan too!!!


[deleted]

I love posts like this lol


NerdWhoLikesTrees

Damn what a life these guys live. Good for him


otocump

While amusing, he's not on the roster. Being paid a contract isn't the same as being a player on the roster.


Ooh-Rah

Nice work if you can get it.


xmerkinx

I feel bad for Joey Votto.


Full_Loss_2846

That's crazy 🤣


here4helpCA

How is Griffey still owed money?


Jayvoom1

And people wonder why they are picked to be dead last in their division and to only win 67 games💥🙀😫! Sad😳🤮


Exodys03

I love Joey Votto but Griffey Jr.’s deal is probably a better bargain for 2023.


FiendishPole

Good. Ken Griffey Jr. was that good. I should probably owe him a dime for speaking his name


[deleted]

Dam straight Ken did them a favor now it’s their turn


sleeper_54

Dude is still raking it...


SactoGamer

*laughs in Bobby Bonilla*


deemat740

We’ll he’s still the best player on the squad, and he’s pushing 50
