The Cincinnati Reds have made their decision: Elly De La Cruz will remain the team’s starting shortstop in 2026.Despite leading the league in errors for the second straight season, the Reds are not planning a position change.

Charlie Goldsmith reported that Cincinnati is committed to keeping Elly at shortstop and will focus on more rest, better workload management, and mechanical improvements to help him bounce back next season. Terry Francona also believes Elly’s defensive issues are fixable with continued work from infield coach Freddie Benavides.

Kyle Schwarber is officially off the board, signing a five-year, $150 million deal to return to the Philadelphia Phillies. But the real story isn’t just that the Reds missed out — it’s why they missed out.Jeff Passan reported that Cincinnati simply did not meet the financial demands needed to stay in the race, despite Schwarber growing up just 30 minutes from the city and having real interest in joining the Reds. Charlie Goldsmith added that the Reds were out of the negotiations early, even though they made an initial offer.Then came Nick Krall’s comments about ownership trying to “break even every year”… and that’s where the frustration really begins. In today’s video, we break down why that explanation makes no sense in 2025, why it continues to hold the franchise back, and what missing out on Schwarber means for the rest of the offseason.Can the Reds find legitimate offense elsewhere?

The Cincinnati Reds entered the offseason with one obvious need: power.

After making the postseason behind a dominant starting rotation, the expectation was that the front office would finally add an impact bat. Instead, Reds President of Baseball Operations Nick Krall went on MLB Network Radio and claimed that hitting 25 home runs at Great American Ball Park should be easy for the right type of hitter.

The problem? The numbers don’t support it.

Since 2022, the Reds have had just ONE player hit 25 home runs in a season. In this video, we break down Krall’s full quote, examine the Reds’ actual home run production over the past several seasons, and explain why fans aren’t buying the message anymore.

If the Reds truly believe power is easy to find internally, the results say otherwise.

The Cincinnati Reds were busy Saturday, signing former top-five pick JJ Bleday and trading for speedster Dane Myers to add depth and upside to their outfield.

Bleday, who was non-tendered by the Athletics, brings power potential to Great American Ball Park, while Myers gives Cincinnati speed, defense, and a strong platoon option against left-handed pitching. Reds President of Baseball Operations Nick Krall also hinted that the team still has money to spend this offseason.

Plus, Sal Stewart joins Reds Hot Stove and reveals he’s down 26 pounds as he prepares for a bigger role in 2026.

Let’s break it all down — what it means now, how the outfield could be deployed, and why the Reds still feel one big bat away.

As we head into the 2026 season, we’re starting a position-by-position breakdown of the Cincinnati Reds roster. We kick things off with the catcher position, taking a deep dive into Tyler Stephenson, Jose Trevino, and Ben Rortvedt — and why this group could quietly play a huge role in Cincinnati’s success next season. Stephenson enters the final year of team control and remains one of the better offensive catchers in baseball when healthy. Even in a down 2025 season, his bat ranked near the top of the Reds lineup when he was on the field. Jose Trevino brings leadership, pitch framing, and experience behind the plate, but offensive consistency remains a question. Meanwhile, Ben Rortvedt provides depth as the Reds evaluate their long-term plan at catcher. Can the Reds get enough offense from the position in 2026? Should Cincinnati look to extend Tyler Stephenson? We break it all down in this episode of Cincinnati Reds Daily.

The Cincinnati Reds had a busy week — and there’s a lot to break down.On today’s live show, we discuss why Elly De La Cruz turned down a record-breaking contract offer from the Reds, his status for the upcoming World Baseball Classic, and a new report suggesting multiple teams have interest in key players on Cincinnati’s roster.We’ll also go over the Reds’ 2025 organization award winners and what it says about the future of this team.👇 Join the conversation live and let us know your thoughts.

The Cincinnati Reds may be considering a familiar reunion.

According to MLB Network insider Jon Heyman, the Reds have interest in bringing back Miguel Andújar after his impressive stretch with Cincinnati last season.

After arriving at the trade deadline, Andújar caught fire at the plate, slashing .359/.400/.544 with 11 extra-base hits in just 34 games. The veteran has long been known for his success against left-handed pitching and could provide proven depth to the Reds lineup.

In this video, we break down:• Why the Reds are interested in Miguel Andújar• His strong finish in Cincinnati• How he fits on the current roster• Why the move could be questionable with the team’s right-handed-heavy lineup

The Cincinnati Reds are bringing back a familiar face, signing Geno Suárez — and this move says a lot about where the organization is headed.In this video, I break down why reuniting with Suárez makes sense for Cincinnati, how his power and experience immediately help the offense, and why this is a decision that deserves real credit from the front office.

FanGraphs released its latest projections and playoff odds for the 2026 MLB season, and the numbers for the Cincinnati Reds are surprisingly low.Despite coming off an 83-win season, adding Eugenio Suárez, and revamping the bullpen, the Reds are projected to win fewer games and have under a 20 percent chance to make the playoffs. I break down the projections, NL Central odds, a wild designated hitter stat that explains some of the skepticism, and why these numbers don’t fully add up.Plus: Terry Francona earns national respect, Graham Ashcraft wins arbitration, Ben Rortvedt’s wild offseason continues, and a quick Super Bowl pick to close it out.Let me know what you think — are the Reds being undervalued, or are these projections fair?

Cincinnati Reds ownership deserves real credit for the signing of Eugenio Suárez — and it goes beyond just adding a familiar face.

On Tuesday afternoon, Suárez and Reds President of Baseball Operations Nick Krall spoke with the media, and one key detail stood out: ownership approved spending beyond the team’s original offseason budget to make the deal happen.

Based on earlier projections, it appeared the Reds had roughly $3–4 million left to spend. Instead, ownership signed off on a one-year, $15 million deal for Suárez — a clear sign of increased aggressiveness and a willingness to win now.

Nick Krall explained how ownership approved the additional spending, while Suárez shared what it meant to him to see the organization push above and beyond to bring him back.

The Reds entered the offseason needing bullpen help, improved depth, and a middle-of-the-order power bat — and they’ve addressed all three. The Suárez signing may be the clearest signal yet that both the front office and ownership are aligned and serious about competing in 2026.

With Spring Training officially underway, Opening Day roster predictions are starting to roll in — and one Cincinnati Reds projection is already sparking debate.

Reds beat writer Mark Sheldon released his first Opening Day roster projection, and it includes one controversial decision involving Chase Burns and Rhett Lowder.

Sheldon projects Lowder winning the fifth starter spot, while Burns opens the season in the bullpen — a move that would place the Reds’ second overall draft pick into a swingman role similar to what Nick Martinez held in recent seasons.

In this video, we break down:

* Sheldon’s full Opening Day roster projection

* Why Burns in the bullpen is risky long-term

* How this situation compares to how the Reds once handled Aroldis Chapman

When the Cincinnati Reds signed Nathaniel Lowe to a minor league deal, most assumed he was simply organizational depth. But the more you look at the numbers, the more it becomes clear he could have a very real chance to make the Opening Day roster.

Lowe’s production against right-handed pitching stands out compared to players like Will Benson and JJ Bleday. His career .789 OPS against right-handers, combined with strong underlying metrics like xwOBA, suggests he could provide something the Reds need.

On top of that, Lowe brings veteran experience, a Silver Slugger, a Gold Glove, and a World Series title. Reds manager Terry Francona has already made it clear how much he values his bat and leadership.

In this video, we break down:

* Lowe’s case to make the Reds Opening Day roster

* How he compares to Benson and Bleday

* Why his numbers vs right-handed pitching matter

* How Terry Francona could use him in the lineup

* Why this roster battle may already be decided

A national analyst is projecting the Cincinnati Reds to finish under 82.5 wins, largely due to concerns about their pitching staff. But when you actually look at the numbers, the criticism of Andrew Abbott, Nick Lodolo, and Chase Burns doesn’t tell the full story.

Abbott has consistently outperformed expectations, Lodolo just had the best season of his career, and singling out Burns for injury risk ignores the reality that every pitcher carries that risk.

In this video, we break down why the Reds pitching staff may be far better than national projections suggest.
