To say the Cincinnati Reds have been conservative in signing free agents over the years would be like calling the sky blue.

Just how the team’s front office brain trust of Dick Williams and Nick Krall chooses to address their ample needs is anyone’s guess. Fortunately for them, Blog Red Machine is here to help.
