Kimberly Moore+FollowReds Clear Space for Mountcastle Power MoveWith Gavin Lux’s contract off the books, the Reds suddenly have just enough payroll room to make a run at Ryan Mountcastle. Mountcastle’s bat would bring serious pop to the lineup, and the fit is almost too perfect with his $6.8M salary matching the Reds’ new flexibility. Plus, he’s got an extra year of club control. This could be the savvy, budget-friendly move that Nick Krall hinted at, especially with the Orioles needing pitching and the Reds having arms to spare. Thoughts on Mountcastle in Cincy? #Sports #Baseball #Reds21Share
Catherine Reeves+FollowCould Castellanos be the Reds’ budget power boost?Cincinnati’s search for a big bat might have just gotten interesting. With Nick Castellanos struggling in Philly and the Phillies reportedly willing to eat most of his hefty contract, the Reds could land a proven slugger for next to nothing. Castellanos isn’t the outfield answer, but as a DH, he could add much-needed pop to the lineup without blowing up the payroll. Given how little the Cardinals gave up for Arenado, this feels like a low-risk, high-reward move. Would you take a chance on Castellanos if it meant only giving up a minor prospect? #Sports #Baseball #Reds00Share
Kimberly Moore+FollowAmir Garrett wants a Reds comebackAmir Garrett, the fiery lefty who brought big energy to the Reds bullpen from 2017-2021, is making it clear—he’s ready for a Cincinnati return. After a tough stretch and some time in the minors, Garrett says his arm feels better than ever, even sharing side-by-side videos to prove it. He’s already talked to Nick Krall and believes he can make the team right now. Would bringing Garrett back on a minor league deal be a smart move for the Reds, or is it time to look forward? What do you think—should Cincinnati give him another shot? #Sports #Baseball #Reds00Share
Maria Chavez+FollowShould the Reds take a chance on Ozuna?Cincinnati’s search for a power bat has fans buzzing about Marcell Ozuna—a name that comes with both big upside and serious baggage. Ozuna’s track record at the plate is impressive, but his off-field issues and declining numbers last season make this a tough call. The Reds are tight on budget and can’t afford to miss, but could Ozuna’s bat be the missing spark, or would his addition bring more trouble than it’s worth? With the lineup in flux and the DH spot up for grabs, it’s a debate that’s splitting the fanbase. What do you think—worth the risk or time to look elsewhere? #Sports #Baseball #Reds10Share
Timothy Huff MD+FollowShould the Reds Go All-In for Mountcastle?Reds fans, is this the power move we’ve been waiting for? The O’s just locked up Mountcastle with a club-friendly deal, making him an even hotter trade target. Sure, his K-rate is up, but his bat speed is elite and Cincy’s lineup is desperate for pop. With the front office passing on big free agents, is trading for Mountcastle the no-brainer fix? Let’s hear your takes! #Sports #Baseball #Reds00Share
Maria Chavez+FollowLodolo’s deal could be a game-changer for RedsLocking in Nick Lodolo for under $5 million might be the Reds’ smartest offseason move yet. While all eyes were on the bigger Brady Singer contract, Lodolo’s affordable deal gives Cincinnati much-needed flexibility to build a deeper, more reliable rotation. When healthy, Lodolo delivers exactly what the team needs: steady innings, strong control, and fewer bullpen emergencies. This kind of savvy signing doesn’t just save money—it could be the difference between another average season and a real playoff push. How do you feel about the Reds’ approach to building their 2026 roster? #Sports #Baseball #Reds10Share
Kimberly Moore+FollowCincinnati’s new slugger: Power or bust?Michael Toglia just joined the Reds, bringing the kind of raw power fans have been craving—but there’s a catch. While he crushes the ball when he connects, Toglia struck out nearly 40% of the time last season. It’s a classic boom-or-bust move by the front office, and with spring training coming up, he’ll be fighting for a spot among a crowded group of first base/DH hopefuls. Is this the power upgrade the Reds need, or just another swing-and-miss experiment? What do you think: worth the risk, or should the Reds aim higher? #Sports #Baseball #Reds00Share
jillian59+FollowReds pitcher’s one-day miss shakes up rosterBrandon Williamson missed Super Two arbitration eligibility by just one day—while Matt McLain, who debuted a day earlier, made the cut. That tiny difference could mean a lot for both their futures and the Reds’ payroll. With Williamson recovering from Tommy John surgery and hoping to bounce back next season, his return could ease the pressure on rookies like Rhett Lowder and Chase Burns. It’s wild how a single day can change a player’s contract path and impact the team’s rotation plans. What do you think—should MLB tweak these rules, or is this just part of the game? #Sports #Baseball #Reds00Share
Catherine Reeves+FollowReds double down on Matt McLain’s comebackMatt McLain just landed a $2.3 million deal with the Reds, even after a tough 2025 season and missing all of 2024 with a shoulder injury. What stands out is the team’s unwavering belief in him—manager Terry Francona calls him their best baserunner and praises his instincts and grit. It’s rare to see a young player bounce back after missing so much time, but the Reds are betting big on McLain’s future at the heart of their lineup. Do you think this faith will pay off, or is it too risky? #Sports #Baseball #Reds00Share
Catherine Reeves+FollowReds face tough choices as arbitration loomsTwo of the Reds’ core players, Graham Ashcraft and Tyler Stephenson, are heading to arbitration after failing to reach deals before the deadline. This could shake up the team’s plans, especially with Stephenson entering his final year before free agency and Ashcraft possibly shifting roles. While the Reds locked in deals with eight others, these unresolved contracts raise big questions about the future lineup and payroll. How do you feel about the Reds’ approach—should they have pushed harder to keep these guys happy, or is arbitration just part of the business? #Sports #Baseball #Reds00Share
