The Hall of Famer Marty Brennaman talked Reds baseball with host Andy Furman on The Andy Furman Podcast.

Brennaman and Furman talked about the Brandon Phillips trade, Jose Peraza, Dilson Herrera and more.

Furman wondered how the Reds can say they are rebuilding while at the same time signing 40-year-old Bronson Arroyo.

"There’s a big time mutual admiration society that exists between Arroyo and this team," Brennaman said. "Bronson can be the kind of guy that can help a young pitching staff whether he’s in the bullpen or the rotation."

Furman asked Brennaman about Scott Schebler having the right field starting spot. Brennaman at first said the job was Schebler's, but then he brought up top outfield prospect Jesse Winker.
 
"We've been talking about Jesse Winker since Abner Doubleday invented the game," Brennaman joked. "If there are questions in the outfield, you would have to apply them to both of the corner spots because Winker is waiting in the wings."

So how many wins will the Reds have?

You'll have to listen to the podcast to find out what the Hall of Famer predicts.
