Latest news and updates about the Reds
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.
PHILADELPHIA — Phillies owner John Middleton remembers it well all these years later. Sitting in the second deck on the third-base side of Connie Mack Stadium back on Sept. 21, 1964, a 9-year-old Middleton watched in horror as Cincinnati’s Chico Ruiz broke for the plate. A “huge Phillies fan” at the time who attended games […]

On the final day of the Major League Baseball regular season in 2026 the Cincinnati Reds got to play the heel for a future Hall of Famer, one who may well have thrown his last big league pitch against them. They even made him look like his old self even though that had rarely been […]

Have we seen the last of Mad Max on the mound? Max Scherzer struck out seven over seven-plus innings for his 225th career win and help the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Cincinnati Reds 5-1 in Sunday’s season finale. A two-time World Series champion and three-time Cy Young Award winner, Scherzer (4-9) boosted his career strikeout total to 3,557. That’s the ninth-highest mark in big league history — three behind former teammate Justin Verlander, who made the final start of his decorated career Satu...
The Cincinnati Reds season came to an end on Sunday evening in Toronto. Max Scherzer, is possibly the last start of his Hall of Fame career, allowed one run in seven plus innings and the early lead built up by the Blue Jays held up in a 5-1 win for the home team.

Reds 1 Blue Jays 5 If I were Max Scherzer, that’s how I’d want to end my career. He threw seven innings, allowed six hits, one earned run, one walk, and seven strikeouts (which would finish him with 3,557 strikeouts, three fewer than Justin Verlander). Max threw 114 pitches. That’s just amazing, especially on short […]
Max Scherzer was in vintage form in what could be his final major league start. The future Hall of Famer allowed one run while striking out seven Cincinnati Reds batters and walking one as he pitched into the eighth inning on Sunday afternoon. Scherzer, 42, has said he will make a decision about his future later in the off-season. If this is the end, he would step away from the game as one of the most dominant pitchers in the history of baseball. Scherzer has two World Series championships, th...
Eugenio Suárez is all but a lock to leave Cincinnati, but what other players should the Reds look to replace this coming offseason?
Today marks the final game of the 2026 season for the Cincinnati Reds who, with 86 losses already on their ledger, have clinched a last place finish in the National League Central division and have once again missed the playoffs. Surprisingly, it’ll be the final game of the season for the Toronto Blue Jays, too. […]
Today is the day – the last day of the regular season. And for both the Cincinnati Reds and the Toronto Blue Jays it’s the final day of their season as neither squad is heading to the playoffs. The two teams will square off this afternoon and try to end their season on a high note with the winner on Sunday picking up a series win to end 2026. First pitch is scheduled for 3:07pm ET.

There were no fireworks, no on-field celebrations. There were not cases of Miller High Life, warmed and shaken, waiting for them in the locker room with snorkels and goggles. Saturday afternoon’s loss to the Toronto Blue Jays was the 86th such result for the Cincinnati Reds during this miserable 2026 season, and this was no […]
I’m going to put the thread up early, we are going to a feed the hungry thing and I’m not sure we’ll be back before the first pitch, because we’ll likely be hungry for lunch after. But I’ll look for a place that will have the game on. I am liking the SB Nation app […]
