We’re going to have to wave goodbye to Eugenio Suárez again soon

Streaky baseball hitting is a tale as old as time. It’s a trait that came to define the likes of Jay Bruce, who’d turn into the most ridiculous player on the planet for a week only to crawl back into his shell for several more thereafter. The Cincinnati Reds knew that about Eugenio Suárez before […]

Reds blast past Rockies in homer-fest to take series

It was an uncomfortably hot 100 degrees in Denver on Sunday afternoon, right about the same time you were watching the Cincinnati Reds play the Colorado Rockies instead of watching the World Cup final played at the exact same time. When it’s that hot with just the slightest bit of seasonal humidity at 5,280 feet, […]

Cincinnati Reds vs. Colorado Rockies – Hunter Greene vs. Ryan Feltner

The Cincinnati Reds got spanked by the Colorado Rockies on Saturday afternoon on a toasty day in Coors Field. Rhett Lowder simply couldn’t find a way to throw a ball past a single Rocky, eventually exiting after just 2.1 IP having allowed 11 hits and 8 earned runs. As a result, the Cincinnati bullpen got […]

Cincinnati Reds vs. Colorado Rockies – Rhett Lowder vs. Tomoyuki Sugano

The Cincinnati Reds slugged four homers in their series opening 7-2 victory over the Colorado Rockies on Friday, with Spencer Steer responsible for a pair of them. On Saturday, they’ll look to take the series victory as they face off against righty Tomoyuki Sugano. Sugano’s one of those rare birds who’s actually been a bit […]

All the highlights from Cincinnati’s 7-2 win over Colorado

After a handful of days off to rest and regroup, the Cincinnati Reds hit the ground running on Friday as the second half of their 2026 season began. It helped that they landed in Denver to face the woeful Colorado Rockies, but they wasted little time in establishing that they were still here on business, […]

Brady Singer’s last stand with the Cincinnati Reds?

Given that Nick Lodolo excelled on such a high level last season, the spotlight has been aimed almost solely at the frustrating blister issues that he has dealt with all season. Most everyone will point to those as the reason why his numbers this year are pretty poor compared to what we know he can […]

Did you get to watch Alfredo Duno in the MLB Futures Game?

Each and every summer, the MLB All Star Futures Game features rosters loaded with prospect talent representing both the American League and National League. This year, that was no different, as top catching prospect Alfredo Duno repped the Cincinnati Reds in the event which took place at some point during the myriad happenings surrounding the […]

Cincinnati Reds reach agreement with 1st round pick Justin Lebron

It did not take long for the Cincinnati Reds to come to terms with their 1st round pick from last weekend’s MLB Draft. Justin Lebron, a shortstop out of the University of Alabama, fell to the Reds at pick #18, and Cincinnati was ecstatic that the college player with perhaps the single most upside in […]

Reds, Chase Burns agree to 7-year, $105 million contract

The Cincinnati Reds may technically be on the All Star break, but that didn’t stop them from making one of the most important decisions of the franchise’s history. On Thursday afternoon, ESPN’s Jeff Passan announced that the club and rising ace Chase Burns have agreed to a massive 7-year, $105 contract that cements his status […]

The case for the Reds trading Spencer Steer

You remember when the Cincinnati Reds hitt he rebuild button with a sledgehammer, right? Back when they shipped away Sonny Gay, Luis Castillo, Jesse Winker, & Co. in search of greener pastures and a ‘sustainable’ future? Man, it often feels like just yesterday. It’s about to feel like tomorrow though, too. As the last place […]

Sal Stewart, Chase Burns rep the Reds in tonight’s MLB All Star Game

The Cincinnati Reds, on the whole, are having a pretty miserable season. They sit nine games under .500 and in last place in their division, with even an outside shot at one of the myriad Wild Card spots painfully out of reach. They’ve dealt with injuries galore. Hunter Greene and Elly De La Cruz, the […]

It’s Home Run Derby time!

Major League Baseball’s All Star celebration technically got underway yesterday even though they basically buried the Futures Game from existence by playing it concurrent with actual MLB games – Alfredo Duno started, caught 4.0 IP, and hit a 400 foot fly ball to CF that was caught. Tonight, though, comes the Home Run Derby, and […]

WANTED: A new front office to run the next Cincinnati Reds rebuild

We asked. You responded…overwhelmingly. Last week we kicked the question to you about whether or not you trusted the current iteration of front office folk at the helm of the Cincinnati Reds to run the team’s next inevitable rebuild. After all, they sit 9 games under .500 and in dead last in the NL Central […]

Reds coast into All Star break with another loss to the Cubs

There was a poignant moment for the Cincinnati Reds during their 8-4 loss to the Chicago Cubs in Great American Ball Park on Sunday afternoon. The Reds, last place residents of the NL Central and now 9 games under .500, actually looked like they might have figured things out for once. Andrew Abbott had labored […]

Cincinnati Reds vs. Chicago Cubs – Andrew Abbott vs. Matthew Boyd

For a moment it was easy to think the Cincinnati Reds might actually be on to something again. On Friday night, with the Chicago Cubs in town, we all got to watch Hunter Greene pitch like the true ace he is, and suddenly we had dreams of what he and Chase Burns could look like […]

Cincinnati Reds place Nick Lodolo on 15-day IL with another blister

Lefty Nick Lodolo pitched well on Saturday night against the Chicago Cubs right up until the point where he didn’t, a point that just so happened to coincide with a meatball to catcher Carson Kelly that was turned around for a 410 foot homer over the CF wall. As it turns out, that meatball came […]

MLB

Cincinnati Reds vs. Chicago Cubs – Nick Lodolo vs. Javier Assad

The Cincinnati Reds look to capitalize on the resurgent start from Hunter Greene on Friday that left them in position to claim the series against the Chicago Cubs with a victory on Saturday. Getting the best from lefty Nick Lodolo would go a long, long way towards making that happen. Javier Assad starts for the […]

Cincinnati Reds select Virginia shortstop Eric Becker in 2nd round of MLB Draft

The Cincinnati Reds went with college shortstop Justin Lebron with the #18 pick in the 1st round of the 2026 MLB Draft, and they backed it up in the 2nd round by taking – you guessed it – another college shortstop. This time around, it was University of Virginia product Eric Becker. Becker, who bats […]

Cincinnati Reds select shortstop Justin Lebron in 1st round of MLB Draft

The Cincinnati Reds used the #18 overall pick in Saturday’s MLB Draft to select shortstop Justin Lebron out of the University of Alabama. Ranked 9th overall on MLB Pipeline’s list of the top draft-eligible prospects in the class, the 6’2” 190 lb right-handed hitter boasts a 70 grade on his speed, 60 grade on his […]

Reds phenom Chase Burns will not pitch in the All Star Game

Chase Burns has been, quite simply, one of the best pitchers on the planet so far in 2026. Through 102.2 IP, he has struck out 118 against just 37 walks, pitching to a 2.54 ERA and 1.11 WHIP for the Cincinnati Reds. That was more than enough for him to earn his way onto the […]

Cincinnati Reds 2026 MLB Draft Tracker, Open Thread

The 2026 vintage of the Major League Baseball draft begins this afternoon, and we’re very much here for it. After all, gobbling up prospects with infinite upside lends ones thoughts towards a more promising future, and that’s just about all we’ve had to look forward to in the realm of the Cincinnati Reds for a […]

Hunter Greene strikes out 12 Cubs as Reds shutout NL Central rivals

Hunter Greene spent over three months on the shelf following his March surgery to cleanup loose bodies in his prized right elbow. Safe to say, when he returned for his season debut last weekend, things went about as poorly as they could have possibly gone. On Friday, though, the Reds officially got their ace back. […]

Spencer Steer to start in CF as Reds open series against Cubs

Spencer Steer has played just about everywhere across his college and professional careers. One place he has never played, though, is in CF. On the same day that news broke that Matt McLain would be heading to the 10-day IL with a calf strain he picked up shagging balls in CF as a player who […]

How to watch the Cincinnati Reds make their 2026 MLB draft picks this weekend
