On Tuesday, the Redlegs were once again snubbed of a major postseason award as Dusty Baker finished in second place for the National League Manager of the Year Award, which is voted upon by the Baseball Writers' Association of America (BBWAA). Washington Nationals skipper Davey Johnson took the prize after garnering 23 out of a possible 32 first-place votes and totaling 131 overall points. The announcement was made on MLB Network shortly after the six o'clock hour (EST).
Baker, who guided the Reds to a 97-65 record and their second division crown in three seasons, collected five first-place votes, 14 second-place votes, and 10 third-place votes to tally 77 overall points, which fell well shy of Johnson's mark. San Francisco Giants manager Bruce Bochy, who's team ousted Baker's in the playoffs, collected 61 total points.
The voting was conducted at the end of the regular season and just prior to the onset of the playoffs. San Francisco's magical run to t...

The Reds made a surprising move when they acquired Sean Marshall from the Cubs last December. They thought so highly enough of the southpaw to reward him with a 3-year, $16.5M contract extension before he ever threw a pitch as a Red. So far, that deal has paid solid dividends. The 30-year old proved to be a solid option as a setup man and played a key role in helping Cincinnati...

Cincinnati's Cuban Missile: Closer or starter?
As the saying goes, if something isnt broken why even tinker with it, why take a single screwdriver to it?
Such would seem to be the case with Cincinnati Reds closer Aroldis Chapman. And yet the Reds seem intent upon removing the closer title from his name and changing it to starter.
Should they do it? Will they do it?
A lot of factors need to fall into place for the Reds to accomplish...
Frazier Denied ROY
2012 was quite a roller coaster ride for Todd Frazier. He started off with a strong spring training that appeared to have earned a spot on the Reds opening day roster before a late change sent him back to Louisville for the start of the season. However, he soon got his chance and took advantage of opportunities created from injuries to finish third in the balloting for NL Rookie of the Year.
