The Reds continue to listen to trade proposals for speedy outfielder Billy Hamilton.
Hamilton, 27, has been courted by a few teams this winter – most notably the Giants. Over the last three years Hamilton has stolen 174 bases including 59 this past year despite a .247/.299/.335 line.
The #Reds have listened to Billy Hamilton trade offers all winter (most notably from #SFGiants), but owner Bob Castellini would have to approve any deal. "I hope Billy Hamilton is with us forever,'' Castellini said last January. I'm told his feelings on the topic haven't changed.

One holdup to a Hamiltom trade could be Reds owner Bob Castellini who would have to approve a deal. Castellini has been a strong supporter of Hamilton in recent years.
