Reds To Sign Caleb Ferguson - MLB Trade Rumors @RedsDaily4 … this is one of the guys I wanted them to get. If they can get C Reese McGuire & 1 more lefty for pen (Newcome?) it would be a little help. Now. Go get a damn bat or 2.

The Reds needed left-handed relief pitching and are getting it via free agency. MLB Trade Rumors covers the Caleb Ferguson signing.

Average $.50 p3s of over $400 @TurfwayPark is just bonkers. 24% winning favorites has to be by far the country’s lowest. $17 average win price, crazy. Turfway makes you scratch your head but just need to be right a couple of times!
We are seven race days into the meet and @TurfwayPark has been as advertised. Check out some of the wagering trends including that the favorites are only winning at 24%. The racing continues tomorrow with first post at 5:55 pm ET/2:55 pm PT. Watch on @FanDuelTV.

Rhett Lowder said he and Brandon Williamson got really close this past season and said Williamson is hilarious. I had to tell him about the time Williamson replied to Charlie Goldsmith’s tweet when it was “pissing rain.” Sorry @CharlieG__ 🤣

It was great to see Big Garry get his picture taken last week at @TurfwayPark. For those who may not know, he’s named in honor of the late trainer Garry Simms. His son, Zack, posted the message below earlier today, offering some special context behind the win.
