Loveland, Ohio – On this week’s podcast episode, Mark and Chris don’t see much light at the end of the tunnel for the Cincinnati Reds, as they were taken to the woodshed by the Kansas City Royals and were shutout last night by Paul Skenes and the Pittsburgh Pirates. The guys also touch on the Bengals’ final preseason game against the Colts, and take a look at some of the gaudy numbers that are being thrown around as part of the Ja’Marr Chase contract saga. Mark finishes up with his analysis of some of the things he’s most excited about for this upcoming Bearcats season, and one thing that might turn out to be their biggest flaw.
Have a listen and don’t forget to leave your comments and feedback!
In addition, for those wondering, here is a great breakdown of what a Ja’Marr Chase extension might look like, money wise.
.@Local12Skinny tells us on @ESPN1530 that he’s heard Ja’Marr Chase and his camp are looking for a 4-year deal in the $160 million range, with $120-ish million guaranteed from the #Bengals. #Vikings WR Justin Jefferson got $110 million guaranteed in his extension.
