Cleveland Guardians vs. Tampa Bay Rays – ALCS Game 6
The American League Championship Series returns to the gulf coast of Florida on Monday night as the Tampa Bay Rays look to complete the series flip over the Cleveland Guardians. Tampa took both games over the weekend up in northern Ohio after entering the weekend slate trailing two games to one within the series. Now, […]
Cincinnati Reds News – Carlos Sanchez shines in Arizona, bad Elly De La Cruz trade rumors
In Arizona Fall League news, shortstop Carlos Sanchez smashed a homer for the Peoria Javelinas over the weekend. Sanchez, who surged up prospect lists on the back of an excellent 2026 season that saw him hit a combined .270/.376/.440 in 579 PA split between High-A Dayton and AA Chattanooga – has settled in nicely in […]
Elly, Chase, and Expectations – Part 3
Today’s article is the final of a 3-part series, broadly investigating expected results for a team that can boast the kind of young talent that the Reds have in Elly De La Cruz and Chase Burns, who combined for over 10 WAR and made up roughly 1% of the team’s overall payroll. We’ll start by […]
Cincinnati Reds avoid arbitration with Oswaldo Cabrera
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 […]
Elly, Chase, and Expectations – Part 2
In part 1 of this series, I looked at the past 30 years or so of teams and what we might generally expect based on little more than knowing how good a team’s best two players. Today, in part 2, we’ll pick up with a question that wonders if it should matter that De La […]
Elly, Chase, and Expectations – Part 1
The mathematics of baseball are linear. Perhaps this is a no brainer of a statement to you or perhaps, and maybe more likely, you haven’t spent a great deal of time thinking about this. But the linearity of baseball’s math is a critical underpinning to thinking about successful team construction. I have two primary theses […]
Dayton still loves watching the Dragons play ball
The 2026 regular season marked the fourth straight year that Major League Baseball has seen overall attendance rise. As Sports Business Journal noted at the end of September – coinciding with the end of the regular season itself – MLB teams averaged 29,601 fans per game through their 2,429 games, a mark that was up […]
Alfredo Duno isn’t the Cincinnati Reds catcher yet, but he’s close
The offseason between 2005 and 2006 was one of great transition for the Cincinnati Reds. You’ll be shocked to be reminded of their disappointing 2005 season – Dave Miley got fired near the midpoint and they went just 1-7 over their final 8 games to finish 73-89 and in last place in the NL Central. […]
NLCS begins Sunday as Milwaukee Brewers host Los Angeles Dodgers
The mountains that the Cincinnati Reds will need to climb to be relevant again in the National League will be on full display on Sunday night in Milwaukee as the Brewers play host to the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 1 of the National League Championship Series. The only question that will be answered is […]
Ways in which the Cincinnati Reds ranked last in 2026
You may have noticed that there are Major League Baseball games being played in front of packed houses each and every day this week. You may also have noticed that none of them have featured the Cincinnati Reds. That’s because the Reds, unfortunately, were terrible this year. And terrible teams don’t get to play October […]
MLB proposes reduced schedule, new playoff format
Major League Baseball is heading straight for a work stoppage. Of that we are all almost 100% certain, as the latest Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) expires on December 1st and both MLB and the MLB Players Association seem far apart on their biggest demands. Chief among those is the scuttlebutt surrounding a potential cap and […]
All four MLB Division Series could be decided today
There’s a massive slate of playoff baseball on the docket for today, the 7th of October. All four Division Series could well end up decided by the wee hours of the morning! The Cleveland Guardians have their backs against the wall as the Chicago White Sox look to send them back home with a sweep. […]
The one angle where the Cincinnati Reds offense excelled
The struggles of the Cincinnati Reds offense as a whole during the 2026 regular season has been documented well – here, there, and everywhere. The top-heavy nature of the lineup featured a back-beat that was mostly non-existent for months at a time, and overall the latter outweighed the former by season’s end. They ranked dead […]
A closer look at the the dozen Cincinnati Reds headed through arbitration
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. Back in 2022, the front office decided to end the pursuit of playoff glory with the then-current iteration of players on the roster and instead invest in future […]
Full Saturday slate of baseball as Division Series begin
The Baseball Gods have lined up over 10 consecuive hours of baseball for you to view this Saturday as both the National League and American League Division Series begin. First pitch in Cleveland between the Guardians and Chicago White Sox will be thrown at 1:00 PM ET byt breakout lefty Parker Messick as the Pale […]
Seattle Mariners claim Michael Toglia off waivers from Cincinnati Reds
The Michael Toglia Era in Cincinnati Reds history was short and sweet despite the man, who I’m sure is sweet enough, being anything but short. The 6’5” former 1st round pick of the Colorado Rockies spent the 2026 season within the Reds organization, plying his trade almost exclusively with AAA Louisville. As the injuries and […]
It’s official – the Cincinnati Reds are running it back in 2027
There were consistent statements made by the Cincinnati Reds ownership group during the collapse in 2026 that the front office and baseball decision-makers were not going to be replaced this offseason. It was telling that despite their precipitous fall down the standings after a surprising (and statistically unsustainable) win streak in March they stuck with […]
Cincinnati Reds links – Elly the player of the month, Derek Johnson to leave Reds
The calendar officially flipped itself to October first thing this morning, and whichever MLB player establishes themselves as the best player on the planet during this month may well end up with a World Series banner to fly forever in their name. That wasn’t the case for the month of September, however. The honor for […]
Reds cancel Redsfest for third time in last four years
Before running for your pitchforks and setting things ablaze, take the realistic route towards acknowledging why the Cincinnati Reds have once again cancelled this winter’s Redsfest. Typically held in either December or January to allow fans to interact with Reds players, prospects, coaches, and front office personnel, the early 2027 edition simply won’t happen this […]
MLB Playoffs soldier on without the mighty Cincinnati Reds
It was almost exactly one year ago that the Cincinnati Reds embarked upon a fruitless foray into the MLB Playoffs for the first time (in a full season) in twelve years. They showed up in Los Angeles on September 30th, 2025 and promptly got shut out, their season ending for good a day later at […]
There’s a theme apparent in the latest disastrous Cincinnati Reds season
The Cincinnati Reds just wrapped up the 21st regular season since the above note was penned by the then-new ownership group. It was a five-point plan built on the back of nebulous subjectivity aside from the one concrete declaration emboldened at the top – We will bring championship baseball to Cincinnati. After 21 seasons, there […]
The Cincinnati Reds can lose no more in 2026
On the final day of the Major League Baseball regular season in 2026 the Cincinnati Reds got to play the heel for a future Hall of Famer, one who may well have thrown his last big league pitch against them. They even made him look like his old self even though that had rarely been […]
Cincinnati Reds vs. Toronto Blue Jays – Brandon Williamson vs. Max Scherzer
Today marks the final game of the 2026 season for the Cincinnati Reds who, with 86 losses already on their ledger, have clinched a last place finish in the National League Central division and have once again missed the playoffs. Surprisingly, it’ll be the final game of the season for the Toronto Blue Jays, too. […]
Cincinnati Reds clinch last place finish in NL Central
There were no fireworks, no on-field celebrations. There were not cases of Miller High Life, warmed and shaken, waiting for them in the locker room with snorkels and goggles. Saturday afternoon’s loss to the Toronto Blue Jays was the 86th such result for the Cincinnati Reds during this miserable 2026 season, and this was no […]
Cincinnati Reds vs. Toronto Blue Jays – Rhett Lowder vs. Trey Yesavage
Elly De La Cruz reached his 30-30 milestone during Friday night’s loss to the Toronto Blue Jays, meaning the Cincinnati Reds now have a pair of games left in their 2026 season with roughly nothing left to play for. That’s true for most of the roster, in all honesty. For Rhett Lowder, though, there’s at […]
