We built out a free agent road map (on a budget) for the #Reds. These moves alone won't move the needle, but they could help to lay the foundation for success in 2027. blogredmachine.com/predictin…
Predicting possible Reds’ budget free agent moves after 2026 disaster sent a loud message

Predicting possible Reds’ budget free agent moves after 2026 disaster sent a loud message

The Cincinnati Reds' 2026 season was a disappointment, and some of the biggest reasons for the team's struggles can be traced back to last offseason. Small-mark

David Bell has stepped down as Blue Jays assistant GM and VP of baseball operations, positions he has held since the winter of 2024. Bell told The Athletic, “I decided to step away and reassess where I can make the greatest impact, on and off the field. The Toronto Blue Jays are a first-class organization. I have a deep appreciation for the people I’ve worked with over the past two years.”

The #Reds are certainly a long shot to sign Ian Happ, but the Cubs just gave them a fighting chance. blogredmachine.com/cubs-just…

The Cincinnati Reds should be viewed as a long shot to sign Ian Happ in free agency, but the Chicago Cubs just made it a little easier.

For the majority of his career, Bid McPhee played without a glove. When he did use one in 1896, he promptly set a record for fielding percentage by a second baseman. The Hall of Famer and @Reds star – whose 6,552 putouts are the most ever at the position – was born #OTD in 1859.

Just off the top of my head, here’s what the #Reds should be shopping for this offseason: • Lefty Reliever(s) • Righty Reliever(s) • Closer • Multiple Starting Pitchers • Catcher • Third Baseman • Second Baseman? • Multiple Outfielders I can’t remember them ever going into an offseason having this many needs at the big league level in a non-rebuilding year.

The question isn't so much should the #Reds trade Elly De La Cruz — they should. The question is whether or not you believe Nick Krall and the current front office are capable of making this type of blockbuster deal.

Asked Jim Bowden if the Reds would seriously consider trading Elly De La Cruz this offseason. "Absolutely I do. This kind of trade makes sense for the Reds and the Dodgers. The Dodgers need to be thinking about their next superstar player."

The #Reds could use a right-handed bat in their outfield next season. blogredmachine.com/reds-coul…
Reds could find their ideal outfield addition at a price they can't refuse

Reds could find their ideal outfield addition at a price they can't refuse

The Cincinnati Reds need to add at least one outfield bat this offseason, and a longtime trade target will now be a free agent this offseason.

Would a salary cap help the #Reds compete? Eh, maybe a little. blogredmachine.com/rob-manfr…
Rob Manfred's salary cap argument overlooks what Reds need most

Rob Manfred's salary cap argument overlooks what Reds need most

Does Major League Baseball need a salary cap? That's debatable. What's not debatable, however, is whether or not it would actually help the Cincinnati Reds.
