    I thought Schebler was gone.

      They can try to trade Schebler between now and Opening Day. When it comes time to make the Opening Day declaration, they’ll either need to keep him on the major league roster or release him. No options left.

    I can’t believe they left of Derek Dietrich… Wow…

      Reading between the lines, my guess is they offered DD assignment to Mason and he is thinking about turning it down. That’s why Nick Krall made a point to say DD is still under Reds contract.
