Saturday afternoon will see Cincinnati Reds starter Rhett Lowder return to the mound for the Peoria Javelinas in Arizona Fall League play, this time at home at the Peoria Sports Complex opposite the Salt River Rafters.
It will be familiar territory for Lowder, who fired a pair of scoreless innings against the very same Rafters (in the very same Peoria Sports Complex) back on October 10th in his first outing in AFL play. That day saw him throw 21 of his 23 pitches for strikes, strikeout a pair of Rafters, and <a href="https://www.mlb.com/milb/news/reds-prospect-rhett-lowder-makes-first-start-in-afl?t=arizona-fall-league-coverage">flirt with 96 mph</a> with his fastball. 
Top Colorado Rockies prospect Charlie Condon will be in the lineup again for Salt River. Lowder got him last time, too.
The hope is today that he’ll replicate that precision and add a little bit more depth to his start, potentially even stretching out to a few more innings.
<img src="https://platform.redreporter.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/132/chorus/uploads/chorus_asset/file/26004947/2172483172.jpg?quality=90&strip=all&crop=0,8.3333333333333,100,83.333333333333" alt="" title="" data-has-syndication-rights="1" data-caption="" data-portal-copyright="" />
First pitch is slated for 5:30 PM ET, and the Javelinas lineup on the day is stacked with Reds prospects. Cam Collier will start at 1B, Alfredo Duno will do the catching, and Leo Balcazar will man shortstop for Peoria on the afternoon.
You should be able to follow along (and hopefully view the game) via MLB.com’s Arizona Fall League homepage, with Lowder obviously slated to throw out the first pitch as the home team’s starter.

Barring a major trade this offseason, the 2026 season will mark the fifth regular season in which Spencer Steer has appeared in a Cincinnati Reds uniform. That’s right, when the Reds front office once again began to blow up the roster back in 2022, it was the deal shipping out Tyler Mahle that brought in Steer and Christian Encarnacion-Strand, and Steer became the first new piece of the rebuild to really make his mark on the big league roster.
Luis Castillo was similarly shipped out that summer, and now Noelvi Marte is heading into what will be his fourth regular season of big league ball in 2026. Time flies when you’re in a constant rebuild, it would appear.
Pointing out the relentless march of time is only one small piece of this particular angle, though. It’s more me parsing through the notes and remnants of what was the 2025 season, turning the page to 2026, and making note of just how little the Reds have on the books at the moment. 
This deep into this rebuild, with this many ‘young’ pieces that the front office refused to give up, and yet there’s still precious little that they’ve been willing to commit to long-term. The player with the most number of guaranteed years on the books at the moment is none other than Ke’Bryan Hayes, whom the Pittsburgh Pirates signed through at least 2029 prior to shipping him out to their division rival in what still seems like a blatant salary dump. Hunter Greene got inked, as he well should have, and is under contract through 2028 (with a 2029 option), while backup catcher Jose Trevino landed an extension through at least 2027 after being picked up last winter.
That’s it, though. Three guys – two of whom weren’t even Reds 10 months ago – accounting for a grand total of about $20.5 million of salary obligations for the 2026 season. 
TJ Friedl’s entering what will be his sixth regular season of big league ball with no contract having been doled out his way. Tyler Stephenson is entering his seventh. Nick Lodolo has pitched his way to arbitration eligibility after appearing in each of the last four regular seasons in Cincinnati’s starting rotation, while Gavin Lux – who required a pretty penny from the Los Angeles Dodgers to be acquired last offseason – is heading into his final year of team control (like Stephenson) before reaching free agency.
We haven’t even reached Elly De La Cruz or Matt McLain yet, two guys who we all swore were set to be cornerstones of this franchise when they debuted in 2023. As a reminder, we’re now heading into 2026.
Frankly, it’s pretty telling that this front office and ownership hasn’t signed any of these guys to a cost-controlled extension. The only question remaining, though, is why that’s the case.
Is it because none of them are willing to sign offers that have come their way? The sheer magnitude of the number of un-extended players suggests that’s got to be impossible, as there’s no way that many guys would balk at that kind of opportunity (so long as the offers are anywhere in the ballpark of where they should be). Pure human nature suggests at least one of them has to be somewhat risk-averse.
Is it because the ownership group is flat broke? Is it because they’re looking to sell the team soon and want as few liabilities on their ledger as physically possible?
Or, perhaps most damning if plausible, is it because the front office still doesn’t know what the hell they have after all this time?
If it’s the first scenario, well, I empathize with their tough luck. If they offered Elly the Julio Rodriguez deal a year ago and he said no, I can at least applaud them for trying.
If it’s the second scenario, well, I’d applaud the hell out of that, too. A new owner of this franchise surely could do no worse over a two-decade stint at the helm than the current one, and there’s no way the new one could possible be as frugal.
If it’s the third, it’s yet another indictment of just how blasé the entire franchise has acted for decades now when it comes to any sort of urgency. It’s also not hard to see this being precisely the case, however. Despite many of these core pieces having now been around long enough to theoretically evaluate, they’ve still got so few concrete pieces with known projections that putting accurate price tags on them seems like swinging blindfolded at a piñata.
Is McLain good, or not? Is he his small-sample 2023 pre-injuries, or the guy who struggled the entire 2025 campaign (while already turning 26 years old)?
Did Elly already peak?
Can Stephenson ever stay healthy? Can Lodolo?
Is Andrew Abbott a ~9 WAR guy over the last two seasons the way Baseball Reference says? Or, is he a 4.9 WAR guy over that span like FanGraphs suggests?
Can Noelvi Marte really play RF full-time? They’ve got barely over 50 games of evidence.
Where do you even play Spencer Steer with Sal Stewart not just knocking on door, but kicking it down?
You don’t really have to squint to see that almost every ‘core’ piece on this roster still has significant questions surrounding who they are, and who they’ll become. Just about the only one who’s showed his entire hand is Friedl, but he’s also the one who just turned 30 with enough control through arbitration that an extension doesn’t really make any sense. The range of projection for literally every other non-extended piece on the roster heading in to 2026 still seems so vast that nailing a number that both team and player would find attractive still seems like a fool’s errand, a testament to both the upside and extreme volatility of the players this front office has put together during this rebuild.
The fact remains, though, that literally every single position player (save Friedl) regressed in 2025 from previous performance, and that’s usually the prime time for front offices to pounce with team-friendly extensions if they’ve got the gumption to do so. Buy the dip, so to speak, if you’ve got any confidence that those regressions were merely temporary and fixable by ‘young’ players who still have plenty of time to evolve. So, if we don’t see at least one this winter, it’ll tip you off to just which scenario mentioned above may be the most likely to be driving decisions.

The Cincinnati Reds have not had a player win a Gold Glove Award since the 2020 season, and haven’t had a player win a Gold Glove Award in a full season since back in 2017. Both of those, you’ll recall, were earned by catcher Tucker Barnhart, and the Reds haven’t had a non-catcher take home a Gold Glove since Brandon Phillips back in 2013.
Defense during most of that spell has not exactly been the Reds calling card. From the 2021 season through 2024, their overall -139.1 DEF saw them ranked as the sixth worst among baseball’s 30 franchises, a timeframe that featured questionable decisions like moving a decrepit Mike Moustakas from 3B to 2B, moving countless infielders to the outfield, playing Nick Castellanos at all, relying on Jonathan India everyday at 2B, and keeping Joey Votto at 1B when he was better suited for DH-only duties late in his career.
On the surface, at least, it appears that mantra has begun to evolve.
Nick Krall & Co. made Ke’Bryan Hayes their big trade deadline addition in 2025, eschewing the fact that a) he’s one of the absolute worst offensive players in the game and b) he’s signed to a long-term contract. Hayes is perhaps the single best defensive 3B in all of baseball, however, and Krall has made effort after effort to emphasize the importance of defense ever since.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-dnt="true">Gold Ke 🔑 Congrats to Ke'Bryan Hayes on being named a finalist for the Rawlings Gold Glove Award! <a href="https://t.co/sXSug1O8nx">pic.twitter.com/sXSug1O8nx</a>— Cincinnati Reds (@Reds) <a href="https://twitter.com/Reds/status/1978472251834925200?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 15, 2025</a></blockquote>
</div></figure>
Hayes was named a finalist for a Gold Glove Award on Tuesday, with Spencer Steer (at 1B) joining him as a finalist. Steer, to his credit, settled in at 1B for over 1000 innings in 2025 after spending more time in the outfield in previous years, and it paid off for him with the glove – he ranked <a href="https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/leaderboard/fielding-run-value?gameType=Regular&seasonStart=2025&seasonEnd=2025&type=fielder&position=3&minInnings=q&minResults=1">tied for 5th in fielding run value</a> per Statcast out of all players who played 1B this past season.

</div></figure>
It’s been quite the revelation for Cincinnati’s corner infield in the last three months given that mid-year everything sure pointed towards Noelvi Marte and Sal Stewart being the future of the positions. Marte got moved to RF to make way for Hayes, however, and settled in pretty nicely out there. Stewart, meanwhile, seems to be biding his time as <a href="https://www.redreporter.com/cincinnati-reds-rumors/48939/spencer-steer-cincinnati-reds-rumors">the Reds try to sort out what to do with Steer</a> in front of him, a situation now complicated by the fact that Steer’s defensive value at 1B significantly outweighs his defensive value as a LF.
Congrats to both on being named finalists. I’d wager Hayes has a pretty rock solid chance at actually winning at his position.

Spencer Steer is fresh off his second consecutive season of below-par offensive production. His OPS+ dipped again, down from 96 in 2024 to just 94 in 2025, and since the beginning of the 2024 season he’s hit just .231/.316/.406 in 1224 PA – a 95 OPS+ valued at a grand total of 2.0 bWAR (and 2.6 fWAR).
He even stopped running (as part of a larger overall trend under Terry Francona), his 7 steals in 2025 a far cry from the 25 he posted the previous year. And, he’s now potentially positionless, as rookie sensation Sal Stewart hit his way to the big leagues and has an inside track to 1B work since the front office made the odd decision to commit to Ke’Bryan Hayes long-term at the hot corner.
Therein lies the rub with Steer. The Reds don’t really have a natural position for him as he’s far from a natural in the corner outfield (and long ago got removed from the regular 3B/2B rotation), he hasn’t really hit that well for a while now, and on top of that he’s not even truly part of the ‘youth movement’ as he turns 28 in another month and a half.
What he’s also done in that time is pick up precisely the right statistics during his service time that the outdated arbitration models adore – homers, RBI, and (at least before this season) steals. So, <a href="https://www.redreporter.com/cincinnati-reds-rumors/48917/cincinnati-reds-payroll-salary-rumors-arbitration">the fine folks at MLB Trade Rumors have him estimated to earn a robust $4.5 million for 2026</a> in his first season of arbitration eligibility, meaning he’s no longer a league-minimum cheapo for the cheapo-oriented Cincinnati Reds ownership.
That’s an interesting number in the larger context of how the Reds have treated LF, however. It’s just a hair under what they threw at Austin Hays this year. It’s a tad lower than what the Reds threw at Tommy Pham and Wil Myers on similar throw it at the wall and hope it sticks contracts in their recent history of never actually addressing their corner outfield problems. Now, if Stewart truly is to be the future at some position in the infield, that almost automatically boots Steer elsewhere defensively, with LF the only spot that a) he’s really played before and b) doesn’t have someone else in-house standing in his way.
Boom. Done. The Reds have a solution to their 2026 roster logjam…if they’re committed to simply running it all back next year and hoping like hell it somehow gets better.
With Steer, we’ll get a litmus test for just how much the front office is willing to test the patience of the fans. 
We’ve seen him be significantly better than his last two seasons, as his 2023 season (117 OPS+, ~3 WAR) was legitimately quite good, even though that featured a .318 BABIP he’s never approached again. We also know he battled a shoulder issue to begin 2025 that kept him limited to DH duties only for the first few weeks, weeks in which he posted absolutely abysmal offensive numbers – but after finally playing the field for the first time on April 20th, he hit a much more palatable .253/.327/.435 with 20 homers through the end of the year.
Penciling Steer in as the regular LF who’ll get time at 1B to make sure Sal’s not completely overmatched would be the very easy, very stock-issue solution for the Reds front office. They’ll cite his trio of consecutive seasons having hit 20+ homers and respect in the clubhouse as why they didn’t seek addition upgrades, and plenty of fans will be completely fine with that. Still, it feels like LF – which is where his best path to playing time next year is given the current roster – feels like the easiest place the Reds can upgrade without burying one of the players who is still part of their ‘youth movement.’
They aren’t going to block Hayes, obviously – not with the $36 million owed him over numerous years.
They aren’t going to block Elly, or even Matt McLain (yet).
Sal’s earned the right to play, and play he will early and often.
Noelvi Marte staked his claim to RF and did so with aplomb, and TJ Friedl once again showed he’s the second best offensive player the Reds actually can count on (while playing a fine CF). 
Nick Krall has gone on record suggesting that there won’t likely be a major shakeup, and that <a href="https://www.mlb.com/reds/news/reds-plan-to-keep-core-build-internally-ahead-of-2026">‘some guys need to step up’</a> in order for this team to actually take a tangible next step offensively. That can be said about a huge chunk of the roster, from Elly right on down the line, but it also very much applies to Steer, especially if he’s to be leaned upon in the middle of the order once again.
If the Reds did make an offensive-first addition, and if that’s in LF – where it seemingly has to be barring a major trade – that doesn’t even mean they have to deal Steer. There’s still the DH, where Krall has admittedly been a proponent of using to rotate all players through, and that paired with Steer’s reasonable versatility position-wise means he could serve in more of a utility role. Still, $4.5 million seems like a steep price for a frugal Reds club to pay for a player they’ve tried to overlap at every position possible, meaning I’ve got my eyes specifically on how they handle him this offseason as the indicator for what their larger plans truly are.

League Championship baseball dominates the sports landscape this fine Monday, as it’s definitely the only major professional sport in North America with two feature games on the docket.
Trust me!
The Seattle Mariners will look to take a commanding 2-0 series lead over the Toronto Blue Jays first, as those two clubs are set to tussle north of the border beginning at 5:03 PM ET. Logan Gilbert will start for the M’s while Trey Yesavage will go for Toronto.
Later on Monday night, the Los Angeles Dodgers will take on the Milwaukee Brewers in the artist formerly known as Miller Park, with first pitch being lobbed out by lefty opener Andy Ashby at roughly 8:08 PM ET. Two-time Cy Young Award winner (and Cincinnati Reds dominator) Blake Snell will start for the Dodgers.
ALCS Game 2 will be aired on both FOX and FS1, giving you the option of watching the game free by simply plugging an ol’ antenna into your television and finding your local FOX affiliate. NLCS Game 1, meanwhile, can only be viewed on TBS (or through HBO Max if you pay extra for the sports streaming package), making the Senior Circuit the greedy bunch of you-know-whats of this setup.
It’s a big day for baseball, as the sport soldiers on without the presence of the New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox, and New York Mets. How will it ever survive?!

Shortly after one of the Seattle Mariners, Toronto Blue Jays, Milwaukee Brewers, or (gasp) Los Angeles Dodgers wins this year’s World Series, Emilio Pagan will once again find himself a free agent.
Signed to a two-year, $16 million deal prior to the start of the 2024 season, Pagan became the closer of the Cincinnati Reds in 2025 after Alexis Diaz completely fumbled that bag, and he went on to have a pretty damn convincing season as the anchor at the back of Cincinnati’s playoff-bound bullpen. He picked up 32 saves (topping his previous career high of 20 back in 2019 with Tampa), posted a career-best mark in H/9 (a meager 5.4), and established himself as one of the go-to arms any team would’ve loved to have had on the mound late in games in 2025.
He’ll be 35 next year, and that’s got him thinking. And as MLB.com’s Mark Sheldon relayed, <a href="https://www.mlb.com/reds/news/emilio-pagan-hopes-to-return-to-reds-in-2026">Pagan’s still thinking about more time in Cincinnati</a>.
He’s game for running it back with this group of Redlegs, who he says is capable of hoisting a World Series trophy given all the talent in their dugout. He’s probably right, assuming the front office spends what limited resources it has this winter on the right kind of complementary pieces to what’s already in-house.
The list of things they need is long, however. They need offense, as theirs sputtered terribly down the stretch this season. A corner outfielder to replace (and build on) what Austin Hays accomplished last year is pretty paramount. They also need, of course, a bullpen ahead of the closer they also need to replace, as the likes of Scott Barlow and Brent Suter could well be free agents pending option decisions, too.
Whether or not Pagan ends up part of those plans will be a huge portion of what Cincinnati can accomplish this winter, as he pretty well earned a raise over what he’d already been making these last two seasons. Nick Krall will be tasked with deciding whether 2025 was Pagan’s peak at age 34, and whether investing further funds into a guy getting up in age is worth the risk that he either declines gradually (or slips right back to the 98 ERA+ guy he was in his first year in Cincinnati).
In other news, <a href="https://www.redlegnation.com/2025/10/10/cincinnati-reds-pitcher-rhett-lowder-looks-great-in-the-afl-debut/">Rhett Lowder looked awesome in his Arizona Fall League debut on Friday</a>, throwing 21 strikes out of the 23 overall pitches he threw while fanning a trio of opponents in 2.0 IP. That’s a huge next step in his way back to being a viable option for the Reds come Opening Day 2026, as the departure of Nick Martinez into his own free agency opens a route for the likes of Lowder to seize a spot in the team’s starting rotation.
Over at ESPN, Bradford Doolittle broke down <a href="https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/46367410/mlb-playoffs-2025-offseason-eliminated-teams-questions">where the Reds stand</a> after having been eliminated from postseason play by the damn Dodgers. His prediction may get your sugars up a bit, though I still don’t think what he suggests is going to happen at all.
Finally, the <a href="https://www.mlb.com/news/dodgers-vs-brewers-nlcs-game-1-starting-lineups-pitching-matchup?t=nlcs">Dodgers and Brewers renew their rivalry this evening</a> in Game 1 of the NLCS in Milwaukee. Game time is set for 8 PM ET (with coverage on TBS), and here’s more from the MLB.com crew on the start of what should be a pretty damn entertaining series. Unless, of course, the Dodgers actually win.

Rhett Lowder navigated 30.2 IP of big league ball expertly at the tail end of the 2024 regular season, his first as a professional after the Cincinnati Reds used the #7 overall pick to select him out of Wake Forest in the 2023 MLB Draft. He pitched through just about every level of the minors prior to joining the Reds for the season’s final month, though sadly you needed a telescope to see him pitch anywhere since.
First an arm injury (and later a tweaked oblique) kept Lowder sidelined for almost all of the 2025 season, and he never was able to pitch his way back into form at all well enough to get back to big league action. He’s healthy now, though, and for those reasons he’s part of the Reds contingent in Arizona Fall League play plying his trade for the Peoria Javelinas.
Peoria is 2-1 in the early going, the likes of Cam Collier and Alfredo Duno off to solid starts offensively in the elite showcase down in the desert. On Friday afternoon, Lowder will join them in the box score as he makes his AFL debut against the Salt River Rafters at Peoria Stadium (in Peoria, Arizona).
First pitch is set for 4:30 PM ET, and each of Duno (catcher), Collier (1B), and Leo Balcazar (3B) are in the starting lineup for the day, too.
I believe you’ll be able to view this game via <a href="https://www.mlb.com/arizona-fall-league">MLB.com’s AFL site</a>, so tune in to see one of Cincinnati’s prized arms show that he’s back to 100% (and ready to vie for a spot in their starting rotation as early as spring camp in nearby Goodyear).

Cincinnati Reds president of baseball operations Nick Krall spoke to the media on Monday afternoon, reflecting briefly on the team’s crash out of the Wild Card round of the 2025 playoffs before quickly turning the page to the 2026 season.
Though the team finished just 83-79 in the regular season, didn’t even secure an above .500 year until the season’s final week, and once again failed to win even a single playoff game, <a href="https://www.mlb.com/reds/news/reds-plan-to-keep-core-build-internally-ahead-of-2026">Krall told MLB.com’s Mark Sheldon</a> that “we took a step in the right direction, something that we’ve been building towards for a couple of years.” Presumably, that’s in reference to the last three seasons in which the Reds emerged from the teardown that sent away Luis Castillo, Sonny Gray, & Co. and brought in a wave of young players from outside the organization that would, in theory, emerge alongside the young core already within the franchise.
We – us – are three years into this already. Keep that in mind with every quote you hear from Krall. Also keep in mind that over the course of the last three seasons combined, the team is collectively 2 games under the .500 mark and still without so much as a victory in a single playoff game – and definitely has not even hosted a playoff loss.
“We’re losing some key parts and we’re losing some leaders,“ Krall went on to say. 
“Internally, some guys need to step up. We need guys to have good offseasons, show back up ready to go, show back up ready to take the next step.”
On the surface, that’s a perfectly fine, benign thing to say – and to expect. Plenty of guys who had played at the big league level prior to 2025 played worse in 2025 than they had before, and that’s a list that includes vital names like Elly De La Cruz, Matt McLain, Spencer Steer, and Will Benson, among a few others. The position player part of the equation simply didn’t cut it in 2025, with extreme splits, subpar offense, and bottom-tier defense littering the roster all season long, though we’ve at least been able to see each of the above names perform better in other seasons – and that should, in theory, give us hope they can tap back into it.
Digging deeper, though, and it’s an omission by Krall that they are pretty pot-committed to this group as is. TJ Friedl, who was pretty good in 2025 but not the same as he was in 2023 before the hamstring injuries, already turned 30. Stephenson will hit 30 during next season. Steer will be 28 in another two months, McLain hit 26 in August, and this is not a case (outside of Elly and Noelvi Marte, who was one of the very few hitters to actually take a step forward in 2025) where another year of time passing necessarily equates to another year of growing up.
A lot of these guys were, for the most part, who they are this year. That extends perhaps to Christian Encarnacion-Strand, who fell completely off the radar after more struggles and effectively got replaced on the dear god I hope he actually turns into a legit power hitter bingo card by Sal Stewart. Gavin Lux (28 in a month) was exactly what Gavin Lux has always been, the move to GABP as his home park doing nothing to magically inflate his lack of power.
The offensive portion of this club doesn’t look to me like it’s going to magically just create more offense, especially when all signs point to them continuing to massively scale back the run game under Terry Francona that helped – for lack of a better phrase – magically create more offense out of this group under David Bell. This was, and is, a ‘single and steal’ offense that was put together by design and then intentionally asked to steal less, and I don’t know how you coach improvement on those aspects significantly beyond what is already there.
This offense is also set to lose Austin Hays, who was injured for a big portion of the year the way the entire industry knew he’d be when the Reds signed him on the cheap last winter. His .453 slugging percentagewas the highest of all the ‘regular’ Reds, topped only by the even smaller samples we saw from Migual Andujar (post-trade and mostly against LHP) and Stewart (let me just reiterate how much the hopes of overall offensive improvement rest on his shoulders alone).
Back to Krall, I’ll add that he is under zero contract nor expectation to come right out to the media the day after the season ended and lay out exactly what he plans to do before Opening Day 2026. I would never expect him to grab a microphone and tell the world how he has huge plans to shake everything up, to trade two starting pitchers for corner outfielders and that Zach Maxwell has already been tabbed as the closer. That’s not who he is, nor should it be. Still, given what he’s said throughout this again multi-year Reds rebuild has mostly been what he’s ended up doing, and that is, frankly, not a whole lot.
They built this thing the way they did to let it play out over a long, long time, in hopes that after a long, long time they’d have some wins to show for it. It’s been three years, that’s felt like a long, long time to me – can you imagine 25+ other franchises just, like, waiting around for three (now four) years? – but it’s not too long for them and their plan. So, given his actual words and his penchant for being pretty honest about staying the course, here’s how I think this offseason shakes out.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Money</h2>
Money. It really doesn’t need more of an introduction, since that’s what drives everything this franchise does. There will be no big spends, and that’s just how it is.
Earlier this week <a href="https://www.redreporter.com/cincinnati-reds-rumors/48917/cincinnati-reds-payroll-salary-rumors-arbitration">I detailed how their 14 arbitration eligible players will earn around $51.5 million in 2026</a>, should they all be tendered contracts, after that group made just $27.75 million last year. That’s a big bump, one that eats up nearly all of the money coming off the books to Nick Martinez, Hays, and Emilio Pagan as well as the prorated portions owed to deadline acquisitions like Andujar, Zack Littell, and any of the other options they buy out.
They’re still going to be paying Jeimer Candelario $13 million for next season (and then a $3 million buyout of his 2027 option) despite cutting him this year. Ke’Bryan Hayes ($7 million), Hunter Greene ($8.33 million), and Jose Trevino ($5.25 million) all are under contract already, bringing the total already guaranteed to that group to $36.78 million. 
That’s 17 players of the 26-man active roster who’ll combine to make a bit over $88 million, and rounding out the final 9 players on that active roster with pre-arb players making the $780,000 league minimum would put their payroll obligations at over $95 million. 
Per Cot’s Contracts, their Opening Day payroll in 2025 was $111.9 million after sitting at just $90 million in 2024 and $82.8 million in 2023. That means there’s probably a little bit of spending money in there somewhere, but it sure isn’t a lot (without some significant subtractions).
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What They Need</h2>
Hayes, De La Cruz, and McLain seem pretty set as 3/4ths of the infield. If Stewart takes 1B the way I hope he does, that could, in theory, push Steer to a more permanent LF role (even though his defense at 1B was one of his better aspects last year). That would form an outfield of Steer, Friedl, Marte, and Benson (with the positionless Lux perhaps part of that) which isn’t completely terrible – but certainly not enough to be considered a ‘plus’ unit. Unless, of course, they all just take the next step somehow. Adding a bat somewhere (and leaning into the potential versatility of Steer, Stewart, and perhaps even Marte) seems like a pretty vital thing to do.
The Reds are also going to lose a huge portion of their bullpen. Pagan and Scott Barlow are free agents while Brent Suter could be (depending on his option decisions), and Chase Burns will be moving back into the starting rotation mix going forward. And somehow, this isn’t even a roster that has several would-be bullpen guys who ended up on the 60-day IL and will be back next year to fill immediate spots. Adding arms down there (while admittedly being excited about Connor Phillips, Graham Ashcraft, Lyon Richardson, Luis Mey, and Maxwell taking the next step) seems like an absolute must alongside Tony Santillan.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What They Have</h2>
They have starting pitching, and lots of it. Lots of really, really good starting pitching. Perhaps, dare I say, too much good starting pitching, as they just put up the 2nd best team fWAR by SP in 2025 despite having Hunter Greene miss two months, Chase Burns fight an arm issue, and each of Brandon Williamson, Rhett Lowder, and Julian Aguiar being out all season long. 
You can never technically have too much starting pitching, but the Reds might be just about as close to that as they possible can be. Frankly, they’re close enough to it that when you factor in the budget constraints and how much they’re spending on that really, really good starting pitching, there immediately becomes an obvious wonder whether they could move some of it to fix holes elsewhere.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What They’ll Do</h2>
First and foremost, they’ll wait and see what Lowder looks like in Arizona Fall League play. If he looks like his former top prospect self, they’ll cross their arms, chuckle, and head into winter transaction season knowing they’ve got a full deck again. 
Assuming that’s the case (with fingers very much crossed), they’ll probably shop a starting pitcher not named Greene or Burns. Those two, I’d wager, are completely off limits both for talent and team control purposes. 
They’d probably prefer to move Brady Singer – he’s set to be the team’s highest paid player ($11.9 million) while being in his final year of control before reaching free agency – but they know how valuable a guy who can make 30+ starts is for this otherwise dinged-up bunch. 
They’ll probably listen on Andrew Abbott because a) he’s in his final cheap year before he’ll get a giant arbitration bump, b) he’s already dealt with shoulder issues, and c) they, like the rest of us, wonder just how long he’ll continue to outpitch his peripherals (while wondering if he’ll ever be better and more marketable than he is after his 2025).
They’ll listen on Nick Lodolo, too. He set career-best marks in both quantity and quality this year, but once again routinely dealt with the kind of nagging injuries that have come to define him so far. He’s also already in arbitration (estimated at $4.3 million for 2026), and there’s been zero talk of extension with him like there was with Greene. Keep in mind he’s a guy who declined to sign as a 1st round pick in order to bet on himself in college, so the idea of getting him to sign now on the cheap doesn’t really fit his mold.
They’ll deal one of those three for a young, controllable bat, ideally one who either is (or can be) an outfielder when called upon. Ideally, they’ll get a concrete bullpen piece as part of that, too, since Francona seems like the kind of manager who prefers particular hierarchy at the back end and needs a closer he can call on in precisely defined scenarios. 
If they don’t land that second piece – a guy who will be their closer despite not really having been one already – they’ll go sign one, be it a Pagan reunion or betting on Ryan Helsley’s stumble with the Mets having him tumble into their price range. I do actually think they’ll spend a bit of money on that need, as they did once upon a time in getting Pagan in the first place.
Then, the Reds will hit the pause button for a bit. We’ll all wonder if they’re really going to roll into spring training in Goodyear with just those moves. As mid-February approaches, though, they’ll dole out a one-year contract to an established reliever who’d not yet found a home, and he’ll roll into camp two days after pitchers and catchers reported and assume the resident Scott Barlow/Buck Farmer role as a setup guy.
It’s at this point when we’ll all get to see for real if everybody can take the next step together.

The Cincinnati Reds currently have 14 players on their roster who’ll be arbitration eligible heading into the 2026 regular season. That means the Reds have 14 players currently rostered who’ll be picking up raises over what they made during the 2025 season, since that’s precisely how the arbitration system works.
The fine folks at MLB Trade Rumors have used a pretty accurate model for years to estimate what these players will earn based on the inputs of their statistical production (and previous year salaries), and they released <a href="https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2025/10/projected-arbitration-salaries-for-2026.html">their estimates for each team’s group of arb-eligibles</a> on Tuesday morning. 
There are four Reds who’ll be in their final season of arbitration eligibility in 2026 – meaning, of course, that the Reds have only one more season of control over them before they reach free agency. Brady Singer ($11.9 million) leads the model’s estimates among that group, followed by Tyler Stephenson ($6.4 million), Gavin Lux ($5 million), and non-tender candidate Santiago Espinal ($2.9 million).
A trio of Reds have logged at least four years of service time, and that group is topped by Nick Lodolo ($4.3 million). He’s followed by Ian Gibaut ($1.5 million) and Sam Moll ($1.2 million).
TJ Friedl ($4.9 million) and Spencer Steer ($4.5 million) will see the largest salary increases among the group of players entering their first arbitration year, followed by Matt McLain ($2.6 million as a Super Two), Tony Santillan ($2.4 million), Will Benson ($1.7 million), and Brandon Williamson ($800K as a Super Two).
If the Reds choose to tender contracts to all 14 of those players – and if the numbers from the model are exactly right (they’ll be pretty close) – that’s approximately $51.5 million worth of salary obligations for that portion of the roster. For reference, the total amount earned by those same 14 players during the 2025 season was $27.75 million, so there’s a nearly $24 million increase in payroll just to roll back out those same guys again for the 2026 season.
First off, it’s unlikely that they’ll tender contracts to everyone listed there. Espinal and Gibaut, perhaps, stand out as two likely non-tender candidates. If you’re looking for the total bottom line for the 2026 payroll, you also have to factor in the likes of Nick Martinez ($21.05 million), Emilio Pagan ($8 million), Zack Littell (the prorated portion of his $5.72 million), Miguel Andujar (the prorated portion of his $3 million), and Scott Barlow ($2.5 million) coming off the books as each reaches free agency. That’s not an insignificant number by any stretch, though those are five pretty key roster openings that must now be filled either from within or via costly dives into free agency. The same can probably be said for Austin Hays ($5 million, assuming he and the Reds decline his $12 million mutual option for 2026), and potentially Brent Suter ($2.75 million with a similar option decision), though again, that opens up two additional holes on the overall roster.
All told, it’s a pretty clear indication of where the Reds are in this iteration of their rebuild. They wanted to create a young core that all emerged together, sticking to the plan of long-term ‘sustainability’ rather than pushing in a lot of chips for a run in any one year. That’s now gone on long enough for this many of them to begin hitting the years in which they get expensive, and both Elly De La Cruz and Andrew Abbott are on-pace to join them as immediately pricey arb-eligibles for the 2027 season, too.
It sure would be nice for them to actually begin to win something, anything before this group gets too expensive for the ownership’s own liking. It’s already beginning to get that way, I fear.
