Riverfront Territory’s positional preview of the 2026 Cincinnati Reds continues with a look at third base and Ke'Bryan Hayes, whom the Reds acquired at the trade deadline last year after missing out on Eugenio Suárez. Now both are with the Reds and how exactly will that work? The Athletic's C. Trent Rosecrans and Reds Hall of Famer Danny Graves discuss.

Ke'Bryan Hayes won a Gold Glove in 2025, his second, but his bat was made of, not gold or silver, but wood. Does Hayes' slick fielding make up for a bat that has never lived up to the promise he had as a rookie in Pittsburgh?

Also, how much does Hayes' presence help the team's defense overall.

C. Trent Rosecrans and Danny Graves wonder if the Cincinnati Reds’ search for an impact bat could lead them to the trade market to find the elusive addition to the lineup rather than a shrinking free-agent class that wasn’t all that impressive to begin with. The Arizona Diamondbacks’ Ketel Marte is among those who are rumored to be on the move.

The Athletic’s C. Trent Rosecrans reviews the Major League Baseball Winter Meetings, which saw two of the game’s top sluggers, Kyle Schwarber and Pete Alonso, agree to new contracts. Schwarber stayed with the Phillies, while Alonso is headed to Baltimore. So, where can the Reds look for more offense? Could reuniting with Eugenio Suárez help solve that problem?
