How are things going for the Cincinnati Reds these days?
Well, Ken Griffey Jr. – who retired in 2010 is being paid more than nearly everyone else on the team.
Yes, that’s right – the Reds, taking a page out of the Mets and Bobby Bonilla’s playbook, are paying Griffey $3.6 million this year – which astounishingly is the THIRD highest payroll on the team.
Honestly, when I first heard the story I chuckled and thought someone had to have made a mistake.
They made a mistake alright – believing in the Reds.
If you look at the Cincinnati Reds 2023 payroll.
