Lou Piniella led the Cincinnati Reds to glory in 1990 as the manager during the team’s last World Series championship. The franchise is reportedly bringing him back in 2016, albeit in a different fashion.

The Reds announced the news on Twitter:

With unbridled optimism running rampant among the fanbases of all 30 MLB teams, it's relatively easy to spin most offseason moves in a positive light.

For contenders, it's not difficult to view a few key veteran additions as the missing pieces to bridge the gap to World Series appearances.

For rebuilding clubs, prospect additions immediately become the next big thing for the organization as the fanbase keeps an eye on the future and brighter days ahead.

The big question in the latest round of hot questions is trying to pinpoint where Fowler, Desmond and Gallardo, who are all lugging around draft-pick compensation, will end up signing.

Howie Kendrick spent 2015 with the Los Angeles Dodgers, slashing .295/.336/.409 with nine home runs and 54 RBI, then hit the free-agent market for the first time in his 10-year career.

The Toronto Blue Jays and superstar Josh Donaldson are preparing for an arbitration hearing, but the club reportedly wants to keep him on a long-term basis.

There’s a credo among baseball executives nowadays: Get younger.

Whereas putting together a World Series contender was once as simple as writing a check for some big-market teams—ahem, the New York Yankees—the emphasis for organizations has been on improving their minor league systems.

The Baltimore Orioles reportedly traded minor league pitcher Jean Cosme to the San Diego Padres for right-handed pitcher Odrisamer Despaigne on Thursday.
