Keep Hunter, Make the Right Statement

Trade deadline about more than acquiring talent

*

“There’s a girl across the bar, I get the message she’s sendin’’ . . .

Oh, hello and good morning. I was just pondering the Reds trade deadline situation and that tune popped into my head. Broooce’s One Step Up.

One Step Up isn’t a tune about wheeling and dealing ballplayers. It’s about a floundering relationship and the options, none great, for escaping it.

”We’re the same sad story, that’s a fact. . .’’

It’s also a decent enough metaphor for why the last thing the Club should do is trade Hunter Greene.
