Edwin Encarnacion

AND Yonder Alonso?

Edwin is meh…but Alonso is their top prospect no? This is Scott Rolen in 2009 correct?

Alonso had no path to the Reds, but why trade for Rolen? No wonder they stink in Cincy.

Shew…why did the Reds have to trade Zach Stewart…

He’s been a beast all year long…would have been a great closer or even a solid #3.

Good Job Jays…you got a great pitcher.
