Jesse Winker to have season ending shoulder surgery
The 2018 Trade Deadline is coming up, the Reds are playing fairly well for the first time in what feels like a decade, and they actually have some decent pieces they could shop around that doesn’t completely gut the team like in recent years.
So, you’d think any breaking Reds news would be fairly exciting as we pore over the new players brought over in a trade for, say, Matt Harvey and maybe even Scooter Gennett or Raisel Iglesias.
But no. Instead, we get this turd of a nugget dropped on our collective heads.
Winker is likely done for the year: “He’ll be ready for spring training next year,” president of baseball operations Dick Williams said. “I don’t think we’ll see him playing this year.”
