Seattle has certainly had their fair share of former Reds in recent years.If Trey Mancini has anything left in the tank then this could be a sneaky under the radar signing. A low-risk, high-reward player that plays 1B and in the corner outfield. Has some power. A trade target in 2022 before Houston got him from Baltimore. Had some good years with the Orioles. Mancini has had some rough luck lately but I could see him at some point turning his career around like Cody Bellinger did after a couple of bad years with the Dodgers once he got out of there.
Also, the Mariners in contention just signed Luke Weaver!
It's becoming fair to say that Nick Krall has built a talented team that's fun to watch but is actually made for the bigger ballparks.
IMO pretty much everyone on the field was a youngster trying to prove they belong (maybe Stephenson the exception).
Expectations will be low for Mancini so this is a good pickup. At worst, it doesn't workout he can be released. Rather see him than some of these off the wall jokes with marginal success at best while trying to contend.

I will unfortunately go back to not watching again if that loser Senzel is in the lineup. I refuse. He is bad for the team in many ways.
It needs to be Trey Mancini before anyone else and want him on the team before September 1st if the Reds make the postseason to be eligible for the roster then. Hit a home run for Louisville tonight.
Good for him but like I said a few weeks ago, happy for the Reds and if Senzel does something, great! No longer hyping him up or thinking he has learned anything to suggest he has 'turned the corner' as he is what he is at this point. Big moment, not going to take it away from it but leave it at that.
Yeah, go figure he hits a homer. However, the Reds lost yet another game that Senzel played in. I believe that makes it 8 consecutive games without a win that he has played in.Who could have guessed?
True that and don't overlook Senzel failed to move the tying run in the 9th. Just because the D'Backs pitcher hit his bat is not reason to get excited.
Guessing he's played in games they've won as well but obviously I'd prefer a healthy Fraley or Fairchild instead. Now for the bad news. Senzel is under Reds control for 2 more years unless they trade him away or waive him (DFA). The thing is, anyone picking him up off waivers would have to place him on their 40-man roster. A tough task if you ask me but at least that would open up a spot for another Reds minor league prospect or until someone gets healthy.
The Reds have team control of him should for some reason decide to keep Nick around. However they can choose to non-tender Senzel at the end of the season making him a free agent.
Not getting why Barrero wasn't given another shot instead. He's played the OF and batting .280 in Louisville with 13 HR, 43 RBI, .926 OPS vs Senzel's .224 BA. Of course Senzel wasn't there near as long.
Fair point, of the two he does have more upside and only 415 career AB's at the MLB level is only 2/3 of a full season if you get close to 600 AB's. Would have made more sense now to see if he learned anything and made the necessary adjustments to make it in MLB.
After another rough start by Greene, yeah I miss Castillo no doubt.
You just can’t have this from your supposed “ace”. They were better off leaving him on the IL this year and getting a rented arm at the deadline…Lorenzen?
I do not think now and have never thought since seeing him pitch that Hunter Greene translates as a starter. He is a closer or high end setup guy. He has 2 pitches, thats it, he gets hurt constantly and after a lineup sees him the 2nd time he gets destroyed.
Pretty much so. He has poor command of his secondary pitches that allows teams to sit on his fastball. Big League hitters can hit Big League velocity.
It was sad for the kid and If I were them with it being a little kid, would have just assigned him a seat somewhere else without kicking him out entirely for the duration of the game to appease both sides and the ones wanting him gone would have never known. Especially with empty sections at the top of Chase Field.
Agree. Also, Steer needs to look at himself, letting a 10 year old take the ball away from him!
Agree 100%. He needs to develop some kind of change up or offspeed pitch to be a starter. And his fastball is straight as an arrow.
