CINCINNATI – Over the offseason, the Reds made it a priority to retool the bullpen. They signed Hagen Danner to a minor league contract in January. He may have the coolest nickname in the sport, "The Ice Cream Man," but he is exceeding expectations.
Venezuela took out Italy in the World Baseball Classic after a stunning victory. The team will now face the USA as they enter the finals for the first time in history.

Cincinnati Reds second baseman Matt McLain enters 2026 with renewed fantasy intrigue after a dominant spring hints that his post-surgery struggles may finally be behind him.
Through 11.0 IP across four starts so far in Cactus League play this spring, Andrew Abbott hasn’t exactly flashed his best stuff. He’s yielded 12 earned runs on 16 hits in that span, with four of those hits leaving the yard altogether.
After admitting he stuck with Matt McLain in the two-hole for too long last season, Reds manager Terry Francona confirmed McLain will start the 2026 season hitting there again.
The 2026 MLB season is right around the corner, and it is never too early to start thinking about how it might unfold. Seemingly, every year, we have a decent handle on who should contend and who is likely to struggle, which makes looking ahead to the trade deadline inevitable.

We were talking, of course, about Hunter Greene being out for an extended period of time, and Piecoro expressed his concerns to me about the Reds' pitching depth.
Brandon Williamson has looked the part so far this spring in Goodyear, the ‘part’ being a guy who was a former 2nd round draft pick and consensus Top 100 overall prospect.
Not just Reds fans, but people across Major League Baseball are rooting for Tejay Antone. Coming back from one Tommy John surgery is difficult enough, but coming back from three is very rare.
The Cincinnati Reds continued their roster cuts on Sunday morning, reassigning fan favorite Tejay Antone to minor league camp. Antone started out strong in camp, but has struggled in his last couple of outings.
The Reds didn’t waste time slowing Chase Burns down this week, and the decision had nothing to do with results or competition. It was about protecting one of the most electric young arms in their system after a range‑of‑motion issue surfaced in his throwing arm.
Reds right-hander Chase Burns tossed just 24 pitches in his spring outing on Friday, a significant step back from the 68 he threw in his previous appearance.
Noelvi Marte was the main piece the Cincinnati Reds received in return for Luis Castillo at the 2022 MLB trade deadline.

The Cincinnati Reds’ run to the playoffs in 2025 was mostly attributed to a great rotation. Andrew Abbott continued his accension, Brady Singer was a stead force, and Nick Lodolo finally had a healthy enough season to blossom into the pitcher fans knew he could be.
The Reds optioned first baseman Christian Encarnacion-Strand and starter Chase Petty this morning. Both players entered camp as long shots to make the Opening Day roster after struggling in limited looks in 2025.
