"Mr. Chapman, welcome to Cincinnati. I'm Dr. James Andrews. Since you're pitching for Dusty, I thought we should get to know each other."
Haha, so true.Quote:

Eh, it was worth a shot. Ok, yeah, soo that basically means it is 100% the RedsQuote:

Otherwise, I'll be surprised to see the Reds give more money out.
Cincy.Quote:
1:52pm: Passan confirms the deal, via Twitter.
1:34pm: Jeff Blair from the Toronto Globe and Mail tweets that he's hearing that Chapman signing with the Reds at five years and $30MM is a done deal.
Any reason to believe that? I'm curious because I haven't heard anything about Harang - Mariners, I just knew that they were shopping him.Quote:

Damn big market teams buying up all the talent. No way the little guys can compete.
You can have Arroyo. Nobody else should want him.Quote:

No. I'm tired of the Mariners. They can't just make 50 trades every offseason.Quote:
