Cincinnati Reds Wiretap

Could Reds Send Mets A Reliever?

The Reds have a trio of good relievers who could pass through waivers and end up with the injury-riddled Mets, according to Cincinnati Enquirer.

The Mets need bullpen help, having blown twenty-two saves entering Wednesday.

David Weathers, Jeremy Affeldt, and Francisco Cordero all appear to be possibilities.

Reds Talk Winning Strategy In Letter To Fans

The Reds explained to fans why both Adam Dunn and Ken Griffey Jr. were traded and asked for patience in a letter this week, according to The Associated Press.

"By executing these inevitable changes now, we secured more players as part of our focus towards building a deeper, stronger inventory of young talent," the letter states.

The letter was sent to fans by e-mail and posted on the team's site. It's signed by owner Bob Castellini and GM Walt Jocketty.

"We had high expectations for the 2008 season," the letter states. "Unfortunately, the team has not played up to our expectations, and we have sustained injuries to key players within our starting lineup and rotation."
