It goes without saying, but Cincinnati has been a major player during this MLB offseason. General manager Walt Jocketty and the club has been able to reel in several new additions to the team including Ryan Madson, Matt Latos, Ryan Ludwick and Sean Marshall, among others. However, the franchise also parted ways with several players from its 2011 roster. Here's a recap of where and how those former Reds ended up in their new places: Cordero will be closing games in Toronto after his old team passed over him in favor of the younger Madson Francisco Cordero RP (age 36) New team: Toronto Blue Jays How: Signed as a free agent in late-January (1yr/$4.5M) Ramon Hernandez C (age 35) New team: Colorado Rockies How: Signed as a free agent in early-December (2yr/$6.4M) Dontrelle Willis SP (age 30) New team: Philadelphia Phillies How: Signed as a free agent in mid-December (1yr/$850K) Jonny Gomes OF (age 31) New team: Oakland Athletics How: Signed as a free a...

Via Redlegs Review  |  January 26, 2012
MLB.com recently released its 2012 Prospect Watch Top 100 list, and after the recent trades, the Reds were able to claim just two of the players on the list, Devin Mesoraco at #14 and Billy Hamilton at #34.

Arredondo, Reds Reach Agreement

Via Redlegs Review  |  January 26, 2012
The Redlegs entered Thursday with just one arbitration-eligible player on their roster, and by Thursday evening they had none. This is because the franchise reached a two-year deal with reliever Jose Arredondo, thus dodging the arbitration bullet one final time for the 2012 offseason.

Player Profile #121: Johnny Cueto | SP | CIN

Via Baseball Professor  |  January 26, 2012
Is this Tim Hudson 2.0? Well, Johnny Cueto needs the years of success on his resume, but 2011 was a nice start. We saw a different pitcher on the mound as he threw his two-seamer more often (40.3% up from 30.8 percent), which helped bring his ground ball rate up from 41.7 percent to a very nice 53.7 percent. You will hear a lot of analysis on how Cueto out-pitched his FIP (3.45)...
