With this rivalry its never one way

I get it, however, I think Michigan certainly has the capability of succeeding in the scenario you laid out

What players? They brought back all their juniors who weren't being graded as first round picks, whoopdy do. Are you referring to the 6 transfers? Caleb Downs - OSU finished 2nd in his recruitment, he would have never left Bama if Saban didn't retire, most thought he was going to Georgia, but his father and brother were both spurned by Georgia, so he had no allegiance to them, I think he is certainly getting paid, but it wasn't just about money - if it was he would have gone to Miami or Texas A&M. Julian Sayin - A true freshman that left Bama because Saban retired, OSU finished 2nd in his recruitment, he has no bearing on the upcoming season. Judkins - sure. Will Howard - he came to OSU for one reason and one reason only - to boost his draft stock. He got a mid-round grade after last season and wants to see if he can propel himself to top 2 rounds. Seth McLaughlin - the C that was the laughinstock of the college football world 2 months ago - I highly doubt he is getting paid. Will Kachmarek - a TE from the Ohio University that grew up in Ohio, yeah, I bet they broke the bank on him. So, you are saying OSU spent "the whole offseason" buying 2 players? Didn't Michigan bring in more transfers before the 2023 season than OSU did this offseason, multiple of which they were obviously tampering with? Also, didn't Michigan start an entire NIL fund for the expressed purpose of bringing upperclassmen back for one more year? I have zero problem with that, by the way, but I just don't understand the faux outrage over OSU "buying" players this offseason. It is total nonsense and hypocritical. PS: Congrats on the championship.

Boy did the reds need this one

Are the Reds on his NTC list?

What do you mean by dominate the strike zone? If Dunn isn’t dominating the strike zone I don’t know who does. As for Stoudt, yeah, take him ha

https://www.redlegnation.com/2023/07/30/cincinnati-reds-reportedly-interested-in-tigers-pitcher-eduardo-rodriguez/ The Cincinnati Reds are interested in Detroit Tigers left-handed starting pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez according to Mike Rodriguez. I think the tigers and reds match up nicely in a trade. I’d do something like Arroyo, Rece Hinds, Dunn, and Acosta for ERod and Lorenzen. I think that’s fair. Arroyo is a top 50 prospect in mlb. Hinds has very high level power and started making more contact this year, Acosta is a young starter with good stuff, and Dunn is MIF prospect that has shot up 3 levels this year while tearing the cover off of the ball. If this trade got it done I actually wouldn’t feel great about it as a Reds fan, but would set the Reds up well for rest of the year to make the postseason. Marte and Petty are untouchable in my eyes. I really would prefer not to trade Richardson and Phillips. I could see Collier getting moved as well.

As a Reds fan, I would trade Arroyo for Eduardo, but not Marte. I wouldn’t trade Marte for just about anything. Maybe Cease.

Ohtani to the Reds would be fun but I am absolutely against it. The Reds are finally coming out of their rebuild with a lot of exciting rookies and prospects. Would be very stupid to mortgage the future for 2 months of an excellent player. Lorenzen is more realistic. Not sure what it would take. If the Tigers demanded Petty, Marte, or Phillips I’d say no. I think something like Aguilar, Senzel, and Carlos Jorge would be fair.

Absolutely wild that Crews very well might drop to the Tigers.

I just do not see how the Pirates can pass on Skenes. He looks like a true ace. Crews looks very good as well, but not like a generational talent or anything. If they select a HS kid with Skenes and Crews on the board they should just fold up shop and call it a day. Would be embarrassing. With regard to the Tigers - gotta take Langford. If the Reds pass on Lowder for a catcher I will vomit.

Yep, I was at that last game in Detroit. He was left in too long. I have watched a lot of Lorenzen, I have seen him go through stretches like this before to see him either get hurt or just fall off a cliff. I am not really a fan of FG prospect work at this point, they seem to lag behind the rest of the industry quite a bit IMHO. Phillips as a 45 is nonsense.

Well, there is no way Petty or Phillips are coming back for a BOR starter that is a FA at the end of the season. Phillips will be in the Reds rotation probably by end of July with what he is doing to AA right now. Hinds is an interesting prospect, he hits for a ton of power, but hasn't put it all together, he is a lottery pick. Stoudt has a live arm, with that said, I can understand not wanting him. I think a fair trade would be Lorenzen for TJ Hopkins and a pitcher not named Petty, Phillips, or Acosta.

Reds Get: RHP Lorenzen Tigers Get: RHP Live Stoudt OF Rece Hinds Who says no?

He is filthy
