More OF speculation....
This ones a bit more .. speculative...with possibilities of reddick, tucker, and kemp going to other clubs....because...brantley was signed...
Throw in a little riff between breg and reddick concerning a little instagram callout by reddick concerning a post by breg...and ....is there something to it?

(I say nahhhh...but wth knows.. luhnow works in mysterious ways..especially since his key nerds arent there anymore.)

Not interested in Grichuk really.

Always said Edwin would thrive in MMP. Not sure I’d like to give up much to get him though.

I’m not in the loop on the Bregman/Reddick beef! Fill me in!

But I always thought it was just a matter of time before Bregman rubbed someone the wrong way. Kid has an ego, that’s for sure.
