Former Pittsburgh Pirates top prospect Roansy Contreras has latched on with the Cincinnati Reds. Contreras had been designated for assignment by the Texas Rangers recently.

After being suspended for the first 80 games of the season for violating Major League Baseball's performance-enhancing drug policy, Noelvi Marte hit just .210 over 66 games in 2024. It's fair to say that wasn't the season the Reds were hoping to get from the young infielder. Nick Krall talked about Marte on the Reds Hot Stove on Tuesday night. "We thought that he had every chance to be the everyday third baseman out of the shoot and we're going to have this superstar guy," Krall said.

Closer Devin Williams, owner of the 'Airbender' changeup, wasn't blowing smoke when he said he'd been told he'd be traded to the Dodgers. Instead, he went to the Yankees.

The Reds are still looking for an outfield bat to improve their offense. Veteran Max Kepler is one free agent that will likely be in their price range. Kepler has played 10 seasons, all for the Minnesota Twins, slashing .246/.314/.404 over that span. In 2023, Kepler had one of the best seasons of his career, playing in 130 games and slashing .260/.332/.484 with 24 home runs.

The Chicago White Sox have been seeking out a trade partner for a potential Luis Robert Jr. deal for weeks, and one team may be emerging as the perfect fit. The Athletic's Jim Bowden suggested a handful of trades and free agent signings for MLB contenders in an article published Tuesday morning, one of which was the Cincinnati Reds acquiring Robert. Last week, a report surfaced that the Reds were one of several teams that had checked in on the 27-year-old outfielder, so the connection is not coming out of nowhere. Bowden – who served as the Reds' general manager from 1992 through 2003 – landed on Cincinnati thanks in large part to Robert's fit into their lineup and timeline, but also because they have what Chicago wants.

FanGraphs put out its projections for the top 100 players next season, and the Reds were well represented with three names on the list.

FanGraphs is projecting McLain to have a WAR of 4.0.

Brady Singer has had a couple of weeks to take in being traded from the Royals to the Reds and now that things have settled down, he is excited about the opportunity to join the talented Reds pitching staff. "I am really excited for sure," Singer told the Reds Hot Stove. Singer went 9-13 with a 3.71 ERA in 2024 over 179 2/3 innings. "I am excited to get there and meet the new guys," Singer said.

While the Los Angeles Dodgers and outfielder Teoscar Hernández continue to negotiate a potential contract, the baseball insiders use their time to create new scenarios that could have the All-Star playing for other teams. In Kerry Miller's recent column for Bleacher Report, Hernández is headed to the Cincinnati Reds on a three-year, $66 million deal.

Anthony Santander is at or near the top of that list. The Reds struggled with the long ball last year: 18 teams hit more homers than them. Santander hit 44 homers in 2024 and has hit 105 homers across the last three seasons. In fact, only Shohei Ohtani and Aaron Judge hit more home runs than Santander last year.
