Reds Acquire Cabrera, Miles; Damon in their Sites?

After remaining silent thus far in the off-season, the Reds have waited out all the Hot Stove action and landed a few new guys looking for teams in 2010.  In a 4 way trade, Cincy acquires infielder Aaron Miles from the A’s who signed him from the Cubs in December.  Along with Miles, the Redlegs have signed veteran shortstop Orlando Cabrera from the Twins.  Cabrera is sure to fill a hole on the left side.  The Reds infield is shaping up with Rolen, Cabrera, Phillips and Votto.  Perhaps the Reds can hold out long enough to actually ink a deal with former Red Sox and Yankee, Johnny Damon.  For a team that has historically refused to open the check book, this could end up being a decent off-season.  Anything to make the NL Central more exciting is good with me.

The Season if Over but Hot Stove Has Just Begun

The season didn’t go as planned and it definitely ended unfortunately with them damn Yankees winning the World Series but do not fret because hot stove is here! The Red Sox have extended their contract with Victor Martinez. Now, let the games begin with Roy Halladay.

Reds (78-84) 13 gb in NL Central
Red Sox (95-67) 8 gb in AL East (won wildcard berth)
