Cassandra Reed+FollowReds double down on defense, but is it enough?Cincinnati’s front office is all-in on defense and pitching, adding JJ Bleday and Dane Myers to an already improved outfield. The Reds’ defense has come a long way, with Gold Glove winner Ke’Bryan Hayes and rising stars like Spencer Steer and Matt McLain making big strides. But here’s the thing: Great American Ball Park is a hitter’s paradise, and the lineup still lacks a true power bat. Are the Reds betting too much on run prevention, or is this the bold new blueprint for winning in Cincinnati? Let’s hear your take! #Sports #Baseball #Reds00Share

Andrea Castillo+FollowReds Eye Sneaky Depth Move After Dodgers DealInteresting ripple effect from the Dodgers-Marlins trade! With the Fish designating Eric Wagaman for assignment to make room for Esteury Ruiz, the Reds’ front office should be all over this. Wagaman’s Minor League numbers and defensive versatility make him a solid under-the-radar target for 2026 depth. Not a blockbuster, but these are the smart moves that can pay off big for a team like Cincy. Anyone else think Krall should make a move? #Sports #Baseball #Reds00Share
Catherine Reeves+FollowReds shake up outfield: Bleday in, Benson out?Cincinnati’s outfield just got a lot more crowded after the Reds signed JJ Bleday to a one-year deal. Bleday’s arrival isn’t just another roster move—it could mean the end of the road for Will Benson, a fan favorite who’s struggled to stand out. With so many left-handed bats competing for playing time, the team has to make tough choices. Bleday’s higher ceiling and recent track record might give him the edge, but is it fair to move on from Benson? How do you feel about the Reds’ direction and who deserves that final outfield spot? #Sports #Baseball #Reds00Share
Kimberly Moore+FollowSal Stewart’s 26-pound drop shakes up Reds plansSal Stewart just dropped 26 pounds this offseason, and it could totally change how the Reds set their lineup. Stewart’s new agility means he might play both first and second base, giving Cincinnati way more options in the infield. He credits his progress to long talks with Tito, daily workouts with Yonder Alonso, and extra coaching from Freddie Benavides. Stewart’s hustle and willingness to adapt are exactly what the Reds need as they look to get creative next season. How do you think this flexibility could impact the team’s playoff chances? #Sports #Baseball #Reds10Share
Cassandra Reed+FollowWhy Castellanos could be the Reds’ next big batLuis Robert Jr. might be the hot name in trade rumors, but there’s a smarter move for the Reds: bringing Nick Castellanos back to Cincinnati. Castellanos has already shown he can thrive here, and his consistent playtime and solid offensive numbers outshine Robert’s recent injury struggles. Plus, the cost to land Castellanos would be way lower—no need to give up top prospects or take on a risky contract. The defense isn’t Gold Glove level, but the Reds need a reliable bat in the lineup more than anything. Would you rather see Castellanos or Robert in a Reds uniform next season? #Sports #Baseball #Reds00Share
Tammy Sellers+FollowWould you trade Chase Petty for Luis Robert Jr.?Cincinnati’s front office is eyeing White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr., but the catch is they might have to give up former top prospect Chase Petty to make it happen. Robert’s recent injuries and inconsistency have fans divided—some see a risky move, others remember his All-Star form. Meanwhile, Petty’s rough 2025 has cooled his hype, but he’s still just 22 with serious upside. If the White Sox cover enough of Robert’s hefty contract, is it worth losing a young arm like Petty? Let’s hear your take: would you make this trade or hold onto the pitching prospect? #Sports #Baseball #Reds01Share
Kimberly Moore+FollowReds shake up roster, cut new pitcherKeegan Thompson barely had time to unpack before the Reds designated him for assignment—just 53 days after signing him. The move clears space for J.J. Bleday, who brings some much-needed power to the lineup, but it’s a tough break for Thompson, who’s posted a solid 3.64 ERA in his MLB career. This kind of quick roster shuffle makes you wonder how teams decide who’s truly a priority. Do you think the Reds made the right call, or did they give up on Thompson too soon? Let’s hear your take on this wild offseason move! #Sports #Baseball #Reds01Share
jillian59+FollowReds’ Bleday signing signals end to Robert Jr. chaseCincinnati just made a move that changes the game for Reds fans: JJ Bleday is joining the outfield, which all but ends the buzz about a Luis Robert Jr. trade. With a tight budget and Bleday’s $1.4M deal, it’s clear the front office is shifting focus—expect bullpen upgrades, not big outfield splashes. Bleday’s got potential, especially in a platoon role, and he’s under team control through 2028. What do you think—should the Reds keep betting on young talent, or is it time to make a blockbuster move? Let’s hear your take! #Sports #Baseball #Reds10Share
jillian59+FollowReds shake up roster with Bleday signingBig changes for the Reds: JJ Bleday, a former top draft pick, is joining Cincinnati on a one-year deal after a strong 2024 season. To make room, the Reds designated veteran pitcher Keegan Thompson for assignment. Bleday’s power could be a game-changer at Great American Ball Park—he would’ve hit 31 homers there last year! While his defense needs work, his bat adds serious pop to the lineup. Thompson, meanwhile, spent last season in Triple-A. What do you think—will Bleday finally break out in Cincinnati, or is this just another gamble? #Sports #Baseball #Reds00Share
