Trade him to a new owner for a 1st and a 3rd.

All my rookies other than my second round pick busted. Jefferey Welch went +8 and now gives me a really good #3 CB for the foreseeable future at least.

For those that don't follow baseball and/or too young to know who Marge Schott was, she owned the Reds for a few years before she was forced out for basically supporting Hitler. I forget which specific player, maybe it was more than one, but she called him/them her million dollar n-word.

One Opening Day, an umpire had a heart attack and died on the field, and Marge was upset about the game being delayed. Pretty sure she sent his family a used flower arrangement too, she was a piece of work for sure.

You can read about her nastiness here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marge_Schott


No Chris Sabo on your rookie roster?

As for Marge Schott, my favorite story on her was told by Rob Dibble. For some reason he was called to her office and while there he watched her pick a scab off her arm and ate it. Hahahaha - he told that while he was on Dan Patrick's radio show years ago.

I love Sabo, he was awesome and I wanted to use his name, just didn't. Dibble was one of my favorite Reds in 1990, I was a pitcher and I love closers, especially old time ones like The Mad Hungarian Al Hrabosky. I vividly remember Dibble drilling a runner in the back while he was fielding a bunt and chucking the ball into the stands like Trevor Bauer did last year. Bauer didn't hurt anyone but Dibble hit a teacher in the face and got controversy going.

Chris Sabo aka Spuds was a strange dude. Even after making the Reds, he continued to drive his POS Ford Escort with like 200,000 miles on it.
