the fire sale has been (hopefully) ignited.

Cueto waves farewell in dominating fashion

It's all but written in stone that Johnny Cueto will be shipped out of Cincinnati to a playoff contender by next weeks trade deadline. It didn't seem to affect the electric right-hander in any way on Saturday night in what was likely his final start as a Cincinnati Red.
