Both Eugenio Suarez and Mike Moustakas played poorly in 2021, leading third base to be the Cincinnati Reds most expensive problem. Jeff and Steve talk about what they can do in 2022 to bounce back. They also do a segment of finishing each other's sentences, based on the Reds possibility for success. They then look at the solutions to tanking that the MLBPA has proposed in the most recent round of CBA negotiations.

Eugenio Suarez and Mike Moustakas had, what can only be called, a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad year in 2021. The Cincinnati Reds cannot be successful with their most expensive position floundering as much as it did. What can Geno and Moose do to bounce back, and is there another waiting in the wings, should things go south, like Alejo Lopez?

If Kyle Farmer is the Reds everyday shortstop in 2022, the Reds... If Hunter Greene gets 25 starts for the Reds in 2022... If Nick Senzel does not play 130 games, or more, for the Reds in 2022... If a Reds relief pitcher does not get 10 or more saves, the Reds...

The Owners have said they have nothing more to offer in negotiations. The MLBPA has offered plenty, including solutions to dissuade tanking by perennially losing ball clubs. The MLB CBA negotiations roll on as the Lockout continues with little hope of it ending.
