Jose Barrero compares very similarly to a Big Red Machine legend. Barrero has gotten a sneeze's worth of playing time for the Cincinnati Reds in his career. That is a fact. So why are Reds fans ready to move on from him? Are you sure you want to? Also, what the Reds are doing in Spring Training has people excited for the future. Will Benson could be a welcome addition. Joey Votto looks healthy. Tyler Stephenson and Jonathan India are ready to have better season than last year. The Cincinnati Reds are almost ready for Opening Day as we come into the home stretch of Cactus League play. This is the final Aloha Friday Live edition of the pod before the 2023 MLB season begins!
