Cincinnati Reds

Spring training gets underway a bit earlier than last year, with Cincinnati Reds pitchers and catchers reporting to Arizona Feb. 10.

The Cincinnati Reds are not a good fit for Joc Pederson. If this were to happen, this would only satisfy one need and create more problems. Jim Bowden of The Athletic believes that Pederson would help out the power deficiency in the Reds lineup. The problem is Pederson is not a good defender and would add to the slew of players on the Reds roster who fit better at DH than they do at their positions in the field. The Reds definitely need to add power to their lineup this offseason, but there are so many other areas to consider as well.

The Cincinnati Reds' new manager is getting acquainted with the Queen City, as he visited a popular restaurant in town this week.

The Cincinnati Reds have already made one trade for a starting pitcher this offseason, could they make a blockbuster move for an ace? Cinccinnati opened the offseason with a shock hiring of Terry Francona as manager, bringing the longtime Boston Red Sox and Cleveland Guardians skipper out of retirement to lead their young team. Then, at the end of November, the Reds made a move to shape up their starting staff by trading second baseman Jonathan India to the Kansas City Royals for pitcher Brady Singer.

On Tuesday a report surfaced that the Reds and Jesse Winker have "mutual interest" in a reunion, according to Mark C. Healey. Over the last three seasons, Fraley emerged as the most consistent offensive contributor. Benson has struggled with batting average (.223) and on-base percentage (.311), but he compensates with decent power and speed, tallying 25 home runs and 35 stolen bases.

Garrett Crochet, the 11th overall pick in the 2020 MLB draft, made his big-league debut against the Reds at Great American Ball Park.

The Reds are looking to improve their power this offseason. Could they pair up with the Athletics and trade for slugger Brent Rooker? ESPN's Kiley McDaniel and David Schoenfield explored potential trades they'd love to see during the 2024 Winter Meetings. Schoenfield believes the A's and Reds are a perfect match.

Aroldis Chapman gives the Red Sox a potential closer with incumbent Kenley Jansen on the free agent market.

The Chicago Cubs made a tough decision earlier this offseason when they parted ways with fan favorite outfielder Mike Tauchman. While he had been a productive player for the Cubs, he simply did not fit the long-term picture of the team. Due to that fact, Chicago decided to move on, making Tauchman a free agent. Abigail Miskowiec of Blog Red Machine is urging the NL Central rival Cincinnati Reds to sign Tauchman this offseason to help fill the leadoff hitter void they have following the Jonathan India trade.

The Reds are hoping to bolster their outfield this offseason. Could they trade Alexis Díaz in hopes of adding a power bat to the lineup? Mark Feinsand of MLB.com named one player on every MLB team that could get traded.

The Reds are expected to target an outfielder that can bring some power to the lineup in free agency. The Athletic's Andy McCullough predicts the Reds will lure Teoscar Hernandez away from Los Angeles. "Look, there's a good chance Hernández just returns to the Dodgers, but let's dream a Queen City dream for a moment," McCullough wrote. Hernandez slashed .272/.339/.501 to go along with 33 home runs and 67 extra-base hits with the Dodgers in 2024.

The Cincinnati Reds are looking to make a few additions this offseason. Whether the contract is a record-setter or not, the Reds haven't had the best time with multi-year contracts in free agency over the past five years. Mike Moustakas signed the largest free agent contract for the Reds at four years, $64 million. Moose amassed -1.6 bWAR in his time in Cincinnati.

The Reds should be actively looking for an outfield bat in the offseason. Tyler O'Neil could be someone the Reds look to target through free agency. The Reds were 19th in all of Major League Baseball with 174 home runs in 2024. Considering Great American Ball Park is known for being a hitter's park and known for surrendering home runs, 19th is subpar.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are making waves, but there's one star who has thus far been left out of the fun. The spending spree may not be ending soon, but it hasn't included one beloved member of the Dodgers' World Series roster. One interesting landing spot for Hernández that the Dodgers might not be considering as a threat, however, is the Cincinnati Reds.

The Cincinnati Reds added Tyler Callahan to the 40-man roster after a strong showing and resurgent season. Callahan finished the Arizona Fall League with the second-most at-bats on his team and the second-most hits. Callahan now joins quite the list of current outfielders on the Reds 40-man roster. Spencer Steer, Will Benson, Jake Fraley, TJ Friedl, Stuart Fairchild, Rice Hinds, Blake Dunn, Jacob Hurtubise, and Joey Wiemer are all on the 40-man roster with him.

The Reds traded second baseman Jonathan India and outfielder Joey Wiemer to the Royals for pitcher Brady Singer.

The Royals and Reds are both trading from positions of depth here.
