Cincinnati Reds host Colorado Rockies in final Cactus League game
Adios, Arizona! It’s the final Cincinnati Reds game of Cactus League play today, as the Reds will head east for a pair of exhibition games on Monday and Tuesday in Atlanta before opening the regular season on Thursday against the Pittsburgh Pirates. And, Sonny Gray is pitching today, and both of those things should be the headline news here. Instead, we’re stuck trying to figure out what kind of shenanigans the Reds are going to roll out again. On the heels of demoting Nick Senzel and sending us double-talk about how it’s not service time related, the Reds immediately went into...

Is this the last we see of Robert Stephenson with the Cincinnati Reds?
The out-of-options righty takes the mound today. Robert Stephenson stepped on the mound in PNC Park with a 7.86 ERA on August 2nd, 2017, having already surrendered 10 homers in just 34.1 IP that season. The former 1st round pick of the Cincinnati Reds - from the same round that yielded the likes of Gerrit Cole, Francisco Lindor, Anthony Rendon, Trevor Bauer, George Springer, Javy Baez, Sonny Gray, and the late Jose Fernandez ahead of him - had been purged to the team’s bullpen after another round of failed starts, but was back on the mound as a starter in what seemed like a chance with a...

Luis Castillo to start for Cincinnati Reds on Opening Day
It’ll be the first such honor for the fireballin’ righty. There was no single bigger mandate for the Cincinnati Reds this winter than to ‘get the pitching,’ based obviously on that collective unit’s failures over the first few years of the massive rebuild. That landed them Sonny Gray, Tanner Roark, and Alex Wood, among others, high-profile names that should conceivably help the Reds climb out of the NL Central cellar for the first time in a long time. Come Opening Day, though, none of those new names will be taking the mound first for the Reds. On Tuesday evening, they revealed...

Cincinnati Reds: Sonny Gray looks to be the Opening Day starter
After a minor setback this spring, the Opening Day starter for the Cincinnati Reds would appear to be Sonny Gray’s job to lose. Some folks had their doubts, especially after he dealt with a minor injury early in camp, but Sonny Gray looks the part of the Cincinnati Reds‘ Opening Day starter.

Sonny Gray looks the part of Cincinnati Reds Opening Day starter
The righty was dialed in on Thursday. Sonny Gray’s tenure with the New York Yankees ended unceremoniously, and there’s really no two ways around that fact. From marquee mid-year pickup in 2017, Gray’s struggles in Yankee Stadium saw him dropped from the rotation to the bullpen midway through last season before ultimately being left off the playoff roster altogether. Then, Yankees GM Brian Cashman all but stated publicly that Gray would be traded for whatever they could get during the offseason, which Cincinnati Reds fans now know quite well. It’s easy to forget that Gray is still...

Spring Training Game Twenty: Reds at Dodgers
Sonny Gray is back on the mound. Sonny Gray had a belated start to his first spring camp with the Cincinnati Reds, a stiff elbow sending him to the shelf for longer than any of us hoped. His first appearance, though, helped ease some of the fears, as he fanned 3 in a pair of impressive innings last week. Gray returns to the mound for the Reds on Thursday against the Los Angeles Dodgers, as the two clubs will tussle at Camelback Ranch. Here’s the full travel roster - thanks, C. Trent. #Reds lineup, travel roster for game against Dodgers. Puig asked to be in the lineup for both these...

Spring Training Game Seventeen: Reds vs. Cleveland
The battle for Goodyear continues. The Cincinnati Reds kicked around the idea of trading for perennial Cleveland ace Corey Kluber all winter long. The asking price was sky-high, as well it should have been, and ultimately the Reds balked, opting instead to swing deals for the likes of Tanner Roark, Sonny Gray, and Alex Wood to help bolster their rotation. /queues up The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly theme song Well, today the Reds get to face the pitcher they flirted with all winter, as Kluber and Cleveland host their Goodyear complex mates in Cactus League action on Monday afternoon.

Spring Training Game 16: 9 DBacks you’ve never heard of at Reds
Tanner Roark takes the bump. Fresh off Sonny Gray-mania, the Cincinnati Reds return to Cactus League action on Sunday against the Arizona Diamondbacks, and will do so with another import on the mound who has looked rock-solid so far this spring. Sorry, Tanner Roark, I know I just jinxed you. Anyhoo, Roark and his sparkly 1.69 ERA so far this spring will be on the mound for the first pitch today at roughly 4:05 PM ET, which is only mildly confusing because you rolled your clocks forward in Eastern Time last night but most of Arizona does not celebrate Daylight Savings Time. So, who the hell...
