Latest news and updates about the Reds
The Cincinnati Reds finish the season 75-87, leading us to, once again, think about anything other than actual baseball in October. A 20-11 record through April caught fans’ attention before the Reds went under .500 in four of the last five months. Injuries, underperformance, a lack of depth, not enough this, not enough that led […] The post 5 Things We Learned About the Reds in 2026 appeared first on Just Baseball .
The last weekend of the 2006 season was magical for the Minnesota Twins. After chasing the Detroit Tigers all summer, they final caught—and overtook!—the Kitties on the season’s final day. This afforded the 96-66 AL Central champion Twins the opportunity to stay home and welcome in the 93-69 AL West champion Oakland Athletics for the […]
When the New York Yankees lost in the 2024 World Series, they became the laughingstock of the MLB world. Many said that they did not have the requisite fundamentals to get it done in the grand stage. This seems to be haunting them once more. In Game 2 of the ALDS against the Tampa Bay […] The post Yankees join Reds in unwanted history with more errors than runs in Game 2 appeared first on ClutchPoints .
There are several distinct and telling signs of a roster designed the way the Cincinnati Reds have put together theirs. The fabric of it, if you will. Back in 2022, the front office decided to end the pursuit of playoff glory with the then-current iteration of players on the roster and instead invest in future […]
The Seattle Mariners have made use of the waiver wire to start October, claiming 1B/OF Michael Toglia from the Cincinnati Reds. The 28 year old switch-hitter missed much of the 2026 season with a dislocated right shoulder suffered while making a diving catch. The preparation for the surgery revealed a torn labrum as well, which […]

The Michael Toglia Era in Cincinnati Reds history was short and sweet despite the man, who I’m sure is sweet enough, being anything but short. The 6’5” former 1st round pick of the Colorado Rockies spent the 2026 season within the Reds organization, plying his trade almost exclusively with AAA Louisville. As the injuries and […]
A quartet of Dodger starting pitchers leads the treasure hunt (Clockwise from the top) Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Tyler Glasnow, Tarik Skubal and Blake Snell make up one of the most formidable postseason starting rotations in history. (Matt Mesa/Los Angeles Dodgers) by Cary Osborne As manager Dave Roberts held a bottle of champagne in the visitors’ clubhouse at Cincinnati’s Great American Ball Park on Sept. 17, he delivered a message to his National League West champion Dodger team before they popped...
The Mariners have claimed first baseman Michael Toglia off waivers from the Reds, per a team announcement. It wasn’t previously reported that Cincinnati had placed Toglia on waivers. He’d been on the 60-day IL since early September after dislocating his shoulder. Cincinnati added Toglia on a minor league deal over the winter after Colorado dropped […]
The Reds head into the offseason with multiple roles to fill on the coaching staff under manager Terry Francona. The club confirmed pitching coach Derek Johnson won’t be back next season. Cincinnati also dismissed assistant hitting coach Will Remillard, president of baseball operations Nick Krall and general manager Brad Meador told reporters, including Charlie Goldsmith […]
The Reds enter the offseason looking to rebound from a last place finish in the NL Central. They have deficiencies in virtually every part of the roster but will certainly need to improve an offense that ranked at the bottom of the National League in scoring. President of baseball operations Nick Krall and general manager […]
The Reds sent infielder Ivan Johnson outright to Triple-A Louisville, relays Charlie Goldsmith of Charlie’s Chalkboard. Cincinnati never officially designated Johnson for assignment but apparently placed him on waivers this week. Johnson, 28 next week, was Cincinnati’s fourth-round pick back in 2019. The switch-hitter had some prospect buzz early in his time in the Reds’ system, […]
There were consistent statements made by the Cincinnati Reds ownership group during the collapse in 2026 that the front office and baseball decision-makers were not going to be replaced this offseason. It was telling that despite their precipitous fall down the standings after a surprising (and statistically unsustainable) win streak in March they stuck with […]
Reds pitching coach Derek Johnson won't return after a June leave of absence, ending an eight-year run in Cincinnati. Nick Krall says the search starts now.
The calendar officially flipped itself to October first thing this morning, and whichever MLB player establishes themselves as the best player on the planet during this month may well end up with a World Series banner to fly forever in their name. That wasn’t the case for the month of September, however. The honor for […]
Reds pitching coach Derek Johnson, who has been away from the team for personal reasons, will not return to the club in 2027, president of baseball operations Nick Krall announced this morning (via FOX 19’s Charlie Goldsmith). “Derek Johnson took a personal leave of absence in June of this year and will not be returning. […]
Right-hander Lyon Richardson elected free agency after being outrighted by the Brewers, according to the MLB.com transaction log. Milwaukee designated him for assignment last Friday. Richardson got a couple brief big league stints this season. He made two appearances for the Reds in the first half and tossed 1 2/3 scoreless innings for Milwaukee on August […]
Before running for your pitchforks and setting things ablaze, take the realistic route towards acknowledging why the Cincinnati Reds have once again cancelled this winter’s Redsfest. Typically held in either December or January to allow fans to interact with Reds players, prospects, coaches, and front office personnel, the early 2027 edition simply won’t happen this […]
If you asked fans what the strength of the Cincinnati Reds team was heading into the 2026 season, I’m sure most would say the rotation. Having Elly De La Cruz on your team is always going to pull eyes away from other areas, but the rotation was really the only reason the Reds made the […] The post Rhett Lowder’s Struggles Change the Reds’ Rotation Outlook appeared first on Just Baseball .
It was almost exactly one year ago that the Cincinnati Reds embarked upon a fruitless foray into the MLB Playoffs for the first time (in a full season) in twelve years. They showed up in Los Angeles on September 30th, 2025 and promptly got shut out, their season ending for good a day later at […]
The Cincinnati Reds just wrapped up the 21st regular season since the above note was penned by the then-new ownership group. It was a five-point plan built on the back of nebulous subjectivity aside from the one concrete declaration emboldened at the top – We will bring championship baseball to Cincinnati. After 21 seasons, there […]
The Toronto Blue Jays, on Sunday, ended the 2026 MLB regular season on a high note, taking a 5-1 victory over the Cincinnati Reds in an emotional affair. Max Scherzer, in potentially his final big-league start, threw seven innings of one-run ball. Moreover, George Springer grappled with some strong feelings as well as he navigated […] The post Blue Jays’ John Schneider shares true feelings on George Springer’s possible final game appeared first on ClutchPoints .
Toronto Blue Jays veteran starter Max Scherzer turned back the clock with seven strikeouts in Sunday's 5-1 win over the Cincinnati Reds for his 225th career victory, but it wasn't enough to secure one of his contract bonuses.
