All comments during the live episode show behind the host on set! TJ Friedl is a minor-league free agent. He has history and character with the Reds, but he could show those things somewhere else and come back later. Pierce Johnson was fine but nothing more. Eugenio Suárez brought power the Reds did not need.

Brock Burke may have priced himself out of a return, but he is worth watching in the scramble right after the lockout. Tyler Stephenson could come back on a short-term deal if the lockout creates a mad scramble. Familiarity matters for a catcher. Longtime Reds beat writer C.
