Is a new Reds' bat more likely to come from trade than free agency? 16 Dec 202500:43:09

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.

Cincinnati Reds shortstop Elly De La Cruz turned down what was classified as the largest contract in Cincinnati Reds history in spring of 2025, The Athletic’s C.

2026 Cincinnati Reds preview, 3B: Is Ke'Bryan Hayes' glove worth the bat?26 Feb 202600:42:54

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.

Goodyear? Badyear? Spring's sprung for the Reds, and another test for their depth24 Mar 202600:35:08

The Reds left Arizona on Sunday, but couldn't get out of Arizona without another injury, this one is a blister on the finger of Nick Lodolo. What does that mean for the Reds?

Danny also has advice on how to avoid blisters... IYKYK

Also, the entire world now knows what we know — Eugenio Suárez is an international treasure. The Reds' DH had the biggest hit in Venezuelan baseball history and because it was Geno, everyone was happy for him and his country.

2026 Cincinnati Reds preview: Good Vibes Only! Eugenio Suárez is back and a 1B (and DH)08 Apr 202600:50:07

The day before The Athletic's C. Trent Rosecrans and Cincinnati Reds all-time saves leader Danny Graves prepared to talk about the Reds’ first base position, the team added a first baseman, agreeing to a one-year deal with Eugenio Suárez, who will DH and work at 1B this spring. 

If there’s a down side to this signing, we haven’t seen it. Suárez brings his “Good Vibes Only” mentality along with a bat that slugged 49 home runs last year. Nick Krall and Brad Meador are applauded for doing what this team needed this offseason with panic. It’s hard to be this positive, but it’s a big bat at a much smaller price tag than other options. Heck, Suárez was even the top offensive free agent remaining and he’s a Red again.

2026 Cincinnati Reds preview, SS: Can Elly live up to his superstar label? 08 Apr 202600:46:36

Riverfront Territory’s positional preview of the 2026 Cincinnati Reds continues with a look at shortstop and when you talk about the CIncinnati Reds, you're probably talking about Elly De La Cruz, the team's young superstar shortstop.

It was the best of times and the worst of times for Elly in 2025, pardon one of my all-time favorite writing clichés — damn you Dickens for taking that! — with an All-Star first-half and an injury-riddled second half. Neither of us believe the second half is a true reflcection of De La Cruz, but can he replicate what he did in the first 97 games of 2025 into 162 games?

Not only that, Danny and Trent play a game of over/under with Elly's 2026 stats.

Is benching Ke'Bryan Hayes or demoting Noelvi Marte an overreaction?12 Apr 202600:34:10

The Reds beat the Angeles 7-3 on Saturday, marking the team's best offensive output of the season. Really. The team's bats have been quiet, but they're also 9-6. We should know that 15 games is hardly a blip on a 6-month season and a lot can change, especially as the weather changes. The Athletic's C. Trent Rosecrans and Mason Estep of Reds Daily discuss the team's early-season struggles.

Among those struggling offensively is third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes, which isn't that much of a surprise. Is his defense enough to keep him in the lineup, especially with Nathaniel Lowe sitting on the bench? Also, down in Louisville, Rece Hinds is crushing it.
