Nate was joined this week by the Podfather, Bill Lack, and Wick Terrell of RedReporter.com and the Walks Will Haunt podcast! They spent the first third of their time covering the news of Joey Votto's declined option from as many angles as their hearts could take. From there the gang hashed out some free agency thoughts and mused over what little we know so far of the GM meetings.  To wrap things up they covered the latest Reds news - so long, Ricky Karcher - and took it home with some viewer mail questions. HUGE thanks to Bill and Wick for joining and making this a super fun episode!
