We now know that Broxton has a contract with the Reds. All that's left is a series of paint-by-number jokes. This isn't a joke, but if you accept that Broxy is going to be the closer for several...

Jonathan Broxton hasn't signed a deal with the Reds yet, but they say it's "serious." Serious enough to get some chatter going -- from the depths of Twitter all the way to Fangraphs. If the Reds...

The final chapter of our 2012 in review series... The best thing about the 2012 Reds caused it the most trouble in October.

The last game of this season was a turkey, but I have a cornucopia of thing to be thankful for this year. I hope you do too.

In the annual mystical autumn rite, the names of some players you've never heard of suddenly appear next to Joey Votto and Aroldis Chapman. But some of these players might be pretty good. I never...

Doug Gray at Reds Minor Leagues asks: "Who gets protected from the Rule 5 Draft?"This is always a source of speculation and confusion every November. The Reds have until the end of tomorrow to...

It seemed like pretty much every national broadcast of the Reds in 2012- and most of those on Fox Sports Ohio - contained one or both of the following: (1) an info-graphic showing how much better...

This was a surprise item from Mark Sheldon, about Bruce's strong desire to stay in Cincinnati for life: ... the 25-year-old would like to sign an extension that would enable him to possibly...

For an off-season night in mid-November, this is a pretty full dance card. Notice that I say "dance card," rather than "rave schedule." Every Tuesday, WLW is doing their Hot Stove League show,...

It's fashionable to think of Bryce Harper as something of a dingus, but he probably deserved the Rookie of the Year Award. And so did Wade Miley, who lost by just 7 points. But also so did Todd...

BBWAA Jackie Robinson Rookies of the Year in the AL and NL announced tonight.

Programming note: We'll have an Open Thread here, starting around 5 pm, for the Rookie of the Year Announcement show on MLB Network (which starts at 6). Let's look at it this way: at least it's not...

The Arizona Fall League runs until its championship game on November 17 - because that's when Billy Hamilton is projected to steal the last base in America's Strategic Base Reserve. Actually,...

It's hard to think of The Outfield without thinking of this. Or at least it will be after you click on that link. There is some symmetry between that 1986 annoying-hair smash hit and the 2012 Reds....

John Fay reminded us today that Chris Heisey and Logan Ondrusek qualify as "Super Twos" this offseason. That means they have enough days of service time above two years to qualify for their first...

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH.

The Reds failed to cash in on any of their 6 Gold Glove nominations last night. It's tough to see any real injustice here though there were some head-scratching winners, as usual. Taking Ruiz over...

9:30, ESPN2 Guest presenters: Sandy Alomar, Jr., Andre Dawson, Ozzie Smith Last time, Mike Matheny was a presenter. So I guess this means Sandy Alomar will be managing in the majors next year. T...

Mark Sheldon reports that Bryan Price is no longer in the mix as a candidate to replace Ozzie Guillen in Miami. He's apparently withdrawn his name. It's possible the Reds sweetened the deal...

Omnibus prediction results for the Reds' 2012 season.

There was some symmetry between the two halves of the Reds' infield this season. Todd Frazier, serving as liaison, shuttled back and forth between 1B and 3B, depending on which corner infielder was...

The Giants won the World Series. But what does that mean for your family? Specifically, your family of Reds' players who are now free agents: Scott Rolen, Miguel Cairo, Dioner Navarro, Jonathan...

Scherzer vs. Cain First pitch: 8:15 The Tigers' Maximal Scherzer led the AL this season in K/9, was Top 10 in pitcher WAR and has allowed one ER in 11 post season innings (w/ 18 Ks). But he's...

Ryan Vogelsong vs. Anibal Sanchez First pitch: 8:07 Hate to bring this up (but it's hard to have much of a stake in the World Series this year): the previous two times the Giants have gone back...

Fister vs. Bumgarner. It's the most giggle-inducing pitching match-up since R.A. Dickey faced P. J. Sexname. If it hadn't already, SF's playoff run became completely irrational after last night. I...

For at least the last five years - if not from the moment the Reds' revolving door of short stops started swinging - the right side has been the strong side. In the post-Larkin/post-Dunn era, the...
