Latest news and updates about the Reds
When the Cincinnati Reds selected Nick Lodolo with the seventh overall pick in 2019, they expected him to be a top-of-the-rotation arm.

The Cincinnati Reds did not meet their expectations this year. However, shortstop Elly De La Cruz enjoyed a huge season.

The 24-year-old hit .283 with an .880 OPS to […] The post Joey Votto further explains why Reds should consider Elly De La Cruz trade appeared first on ClutchPoints .
By September 18th of the 2026 regular season, the Cincinnati Reds were long toast. They were 10 games under the .500 mark and a lock to finish dead last in the five-team National League Central division, and the final home game of the year was just two days away. You will not be blamed if […]

The offseason between 2005 and 2006 was one of great transition for the Cincinnati Reds.

The struggles of the Cincinnati Reds offense as a whole during the 2026 regular season has been documented well – here, there, and everywhere.

The Cincinnati Reds finish the season 75-87, leading us to, once again, think about anything other than actual baseball in October. A 20-11 record through April caught fans’ attention before the Reds went under .500 in four of the last five months.

There are several distinct and telling signs of a roster designed the way the Cincinnati Reds have put together theirs. The fabric of it, if you will.
