The Cincinnati Reds dropped their Cactus League opener on Saturday as the Cleveland Guardians downed them to the tune of 4 to 2. The good news, though, is twofold.

Just over a month ago we learned that the Cincinnati Reds tried, and failed, to sign star shortstop Elly De La Cruz to a contract extension that would have made him “the highest paid Red ever.” We don’t know if that meant by season. We don’t know if that meant by total dollar value. What […]

Last season saw Chase Burns go from ‘highly talented high draft pick who’d never thrown a pro pitch’ to perhaps the game’s top rated pitching prospect prior to making his big league debut with the Cincinnati Reds in late June. Meanwhile, Tyson Lewis hit balls so damn hard in Arizona in his first action as […]

Voting for the final spot in this year’s Community Prospect Rankings was neck and neck, with both Ricky Cabrera and Mason Neville, at times, leading the voting. But when the clock expired at the arbitrary time that I enforced, it was Cabrera who was six votes ahead for spot #20 on the list. A quick […]

Scott Barlow and Brent Suter combined to throw some 136.0 IP for the Cincinnati Reds last season, and both have since moved on and signed elsewhere in free agency this offseason. Nick Martinez, now a member of the Tampa Bay Rays, chipped in with 20.2 IP of work as a reliever in a swingman role, […]

Sheng-En Lin claimed the #19 spot in this year’s Community Prospect Rankings, doing so after finally getting shifted to a pitch-only player after having previously been considered a two-way prospect.

If someone told you right now that over the first four full years of Sal Stewart’s career he would hit .274/.359/.432 and average 20 HR a season, would you take it? You’d probably take it! The first four years of Nathaniel Lowe’s career saw him do exactly that, as from 2021 through 2024 he was […]

As ridiculous question-themed title prompts go, this one might take the cake. It’s not without reference, however, as just last summer ESPN’s Jeff Passan referenced the legendary pixie dust of Cincinnati Reds manager Terry Francona as a means for the Reds to surge forward in the standings, something Tito did while up north in Cleveland […]

Tyler Callihan was playing the best baseball of his career in early 2025. After reaching AAA Louisville for a cameo at the end of 2024 (and raking during it), he began 2025 at the highest level of the minors and picked up right where he’d left off. He mashed to the tune of .303/.410/.528 across […]
