I doubt it will happen, but hopefully Francona implements some professionalism in terms of uniforms and appearance. Lose the long hair, man buns, bandanas, and Elly's clown outfit.

I don't see the Reds going back to the clean cut, no facial hair policy of the old days with Francona. When you go back to his old teams, they had Johnny Damon, Bronson Arroyo & Manny Ramirez with the long hair in Boston.

The India Royals trade appears to be off according to Jim Bowden. Says Brady Singer was the backup plan for Nick Martinez if he signed elsewhere. It would have been a good trade for Singer. He would have been much cheaper and gave them 2 years of team control. Would have rather dumped someone off than the team leader in .OBP, but it would have been a fair trade. Now that it is dead, they best be looking to trade for a real outfielder instead of a bunch of guys who are 4th/5th outfielders at best.
