The Reds have reportedly claimed RHP Kevin Gausman off waivers from the #Braves. Appears as though Mike Foltynewicz could return to the Atlanta rotation during the series in Minnesota.

I'll say one thing about AA, he gets rid of the dead weight--if the player has no options....

That was fast, and saves us about $3 million or so, correct? Wilson Wednesday, or will Folty be ready to give it another shot? Might we claim Lucroy?

Was there ever news that he was put on waivers?

I wish we had tried him in the pen.

I wish we had tried him in the pen. I wouldn’t have been opposed but he would have to have gone to Gwinnett, we needed the roster spot. Maybe if he went there he could have started throwing those two new pitches again....insert eye roll here....bottom line though McGuirk had to save the Gausman money, el cheapo! |

Gausman gone- Bruce Zimmerman in AAA after a strong year in AA.

It was just one of those things but maybe had we moved him to the pen earlier.. Oh well.. it's just the way it works. |

I agree it would have been nice to see him in the pen before the trade deadline, but we had to wait on Folty to be ready before we could take Gausman out of the rotation. Just bad timing. |

Many here wanted us to put him in the pen.

It made no sense. He should have been in the pen a mont earlier. I sure as hell hope they put Folty in the pen before cutting him if it comes to it.
