The case for the Cincinnati Reds extending Tyler Stephenson
Photo by Elsa/ Not physically - that would likely be illegal. Monetarily! From yesterday: When he’s been in-gear and in-lineup, however, he’s looked every bit the part of one of the very, very few people on the planet who can catch his ass off and sock opposing pitchers, too - since the start of the 2020 season, there have been 51 MLB catchers who’ve logged at least 450 PA and his 119 wRC+ in that span ranks tied for 9th with Willson Contreras, for instance. The ‘he’ hero in that statement is Cincinnati Reds catcher Tyler Stephenson. His topical offensive...

Cincinnati Reds sign catcher Luke Maile to one-year deal
Photo by Jim McIsaac/ The backup catcher has been found. The would-be reunion with free agent Tucker Barnhart appears to be over for those hoping he’d return to the Cincinnati Reds. As the team entered the offseason, one of their biggest priorities was augmenting their depth at the catching position after Barnhart’s departure and resident starter Tyler Stephenson’s injury-filled 2022 season. They weren’t going to trade from depth or spend much to address it, of course, but something better than the dismal production they got from last year’s options was a...

The case for the Cincinnati Reds trading Tyler Stephenson
Photo by Andy Lyons/ It’s gross. I’m aware. This headline is terrible. It’s a valid thought, but I hate it. You should hate it, too. Don’t hate me for putting in writing, though - hate the Cincinnati Reds for making you think it before I write it. With last week’s trade of Kyle Farmer to the Minnesota Twins, the Reds embarked even further into their deep, dark rebuild, one that has trimmed the payroll down nearly to the levels of the Oakland A’s and Tampa Bay Rays. All that remains at this point are a few arb-eligibles set to make barely twice the...

MLB Winter Meetings 2022 Primer
The ball here is the Winter Meetings. Jake Fraley here is the Reds. | Photo by Andy Lyons/ Where the Cincinnati Reds will again be one of the 30 MLB teams that are MLB teams Between the years-long pandemic and last winter’s lockout of the players by Major League Baseball, we’ve not seen a ‘normal’ offseason in quite some time. Barring another unforeseen, last minute interruption, we’ll finally be given that again this year, with MLB’s Winter Meetings in San Diego next week something of a celebration of administrative and transactional events to which we can...

A Kyle Farmer appreciation post
Photo by Dylan Buell/ Kyle Farmer. The 2019 Major League Baseball season officially introduced Kyle Farmer as the league’s resident smorgasbord. After joining the Cincinnati Reds as a relatively overlooked piece of the deal that also brought in Yasiel Puig and Alex Wood from the Los Angeles Dodgers, he took the world of those who keep score by storm, eventually logging time at each of 1B, 2B, SS, 3B, pitcher, and catcher on the year. He announced his presence in a large way by socking a 3-run tater against the Miami Marlins on April 9th, marking his single-game high...

Should the Cincinnati Reds trade Luis Cessa?
Photo by Andy Lyons/ He makes money, so the answer is probably ‘yes.’ The last we saw of Luis Cessa was rather impressive, really. In the penultimate game of the 2022 Cincinnati Reds season, he fired 5.0 IP of effective ball against the Chicago Cubs, allowing just a lone run on a lone hit - a solo homer - wrapping his season on a 61 pitch effort. He was doing it as a starter, too, a job that he’d been forced to abandon after frustrating forays with the New York Yankees during the 2018 season. For a time, it seemed as if that was the perfect tonic for his big...

Bronson Arroyo headlines 2023 Baseball Hall of Fame ballot
Photo by Kirk Irwin/ There are other, lesser names on it, too. When it comes to baseball players named Bronson, few can hold a torch to former Cincinnati Reds legend Bronson Arroyo. After coming to the Reds from the Boston Red Sox in exchange for Wily Mo Peña, Arroyo unfurled his cornrows and unleashed leg-kicks and frisbees, successfully keeping hitters off-balance as the resident rotation anchor for 279 starts in the uniform. In a career that spanned 16 seasons, Arroyo logged over 2400 innings and made 383 starts, earning a bid to an All Star Game, winning a Gold...

Free Agent Profile: Cody Bellinger and the Cincinnati Reds thirst for an outfielder
Photo by Harry How/ The Reds need outfield help something fierce. In some places in the world, baseball fans can search FanGraphs and Baseball Reference leaderboards, sort stats in descending order, and begin to dream about their favorite team doing everything it can to land the players atop the list. Here in the land of the Cincinnati Reds, however, we usually get to settle for the inverse. A quick gander at some hitting statistics dating back to the start of the 2020 Major League Baseball season reveals that some 243 hitters have accrued at least 750 big league plate...
