The time has come and some fans will argue that it’s overdue. Right-handed reliever David Hernandez was shelled again last night during the Cincinnati Reds 12-5 loss against the Chicago Cubs. The Reds fell eight games back of the Cubs in the NL Central race, but still have hope to get into the playoffs via the Wild Card. It’s time for Hernandez to be released.
With the release of Zach Duke earlier this season, the Reds have already shown a propensity to move off the idea of allowing a player to work through his struggles.
