The Reds have finally gotten around to announcing spring training reporting dates:
Feb. 17: Pitchers and catchers report
Feb. 21: Position players report
Feb. 23: Photo day
Wouldn't surprise me if Bubba shows up early, though.
Meanwhile, the Hot Stove rumors continue. The Padres supposedly want the Big Unit, too, and are offering Scott Linebrink. The Mariners might be interested as well.
If the Yankees do trade RJ, they may jump in on the Zito sweepstakes. Zito clearly wants to play for the Yanks, and perhaps would make some concessions to do so.
