You’re going to see Joey Votto talk baseball on TV this year
Cincinnati Reds legend and future baseball Hall of Famer Joey Votto is going to be a big part of NBC’s Major League Baseball coverage beginning this spring. According to Front Office Sports, Votto is among a pretty impressive (on field) trio that will be joining NBC’s coverage, with fellow future Hall of Famer Clayton Kershaw […]
Community Prospect Rankings: #13 prospect in the Cincinnati Reds system
Big Sugar! Zach Maxwell and his 100+ mph heater landed at spot #12 on this year’s Community Prospect Rankings, and he’ll take his talents to Goodyear for spring training in just over two weeks with an eye on a spot on the Opening Day roster of the Cincinnati Reds. Now, it’s time to vote for […]
Zach Maxwell is the #12 prospect in the Cincinnati Reds system!
In yet another incredibly tight vote, it was Big Sugar who emerged victorious! With 36 votes out of 124 responses in this round, big right-hander Zach Maxwell claimed the plurality, narrowly topping the likes of Leo Balcazar (34 votes) and Aaron Watson (29 votes) – with the latter two holding slim leads of their own […]
The open door for Edwin Arroyo with the Cincinnati Reds
Santiago Espinal is fresh off a -1.4 bWAR season that saw him hit .243/.292/.282 overall in 328 PA with the Cincinnati Reds. Garrett Hampson, meanwhile, went just 3 for 19 in his short stint with Cincinnati last season as part of a three-franchise year where he hit .143/.250/.169 overall. Then, there’s Michael Chavis, who hasn’t […]
Community Prospect Rankings: #12 prospect in the Cincinnati Reds system
Burly right-hander Jose Franco claimed the #11 spot in this year’s Community Prospect Rankings, and now we head into the voting for spot #12. Per usual, here’s a link to the Google Form where you can vote, though it should be embedded at the end of the list if you’d rater read first and then […]
Jose Franco is the #11 prospect in the Cincinnati Reds system!
Jose Franco has been within the Cincinnati Reds farm system since way back in 2019, and in that seven-year stretch has seen plenty. After a strong 57.1 IP debut in the Dominican Summer League in 2019, he – like every one else – lost the 2020 season, and by the time 2021 rolled around he’d […]
Community Prospect Rankings: #11 prospect in the Cincinnati Reds system
Arnaldo Lantigua rocketed to spot #10 after adding his name to the list of existing top prospects. Maybe that’ll be the case again with spot #11 in this year’s Community Prospect Rankings! Per usual, here’s a link to the Google Form where you can vote, though it should be embedded at the end of the […]
Arnaldo Lantigua is the #10 prospect in the Cincinnati Reds system!
There is latent hope in just about every baseball prospect. Prospect, by definition, implies a good bit of promise and a lot of expectation with variability. With Arnaldo Lantigua, though, there’s an added bit of prospect pressure. Acquired from the Los Angeles Dodgers, he was dealt to the Cincinnati Reds for an amount of international […]
Community Prospect Rankings: #10 prospect in the Cincinnati Reds system
Righty Chase Petty has the stuff to potentially end up #1 on this list at some point. He also had a poor enough 2025 season that a repeat of said production could see him off this list altogether by 2027. Here’s hoping the uber-talented starter figured it out over the winter and shows up to […]
Chase Petty is the #9 prospect in the Cincinnati Reds system!
Chase Petty did not have a good 2025 season. At the big league level, he was roughed up for 14 R (13 ER) in just 6.0 IP, with a trio of long balls yielded – and walked more (8) than he struck out (7). Down at AAA Louisville, he was tagged for 91 R (80 […]
Community Prospect Rankings: #9 prospect in the Cincinnati Reds system
Tyson Lewis saw his name etched in the annals of internet history earlier today by claiming the #8 spot in this year’s Red Reporter Community Prospect Rankings. Congrats to Tyson on the incredible honor! By now you know the new voting rules here. There will be an embedded poll at the bottom of this post […]
Tyson Lewis is the #8 prospect in the Cincinnati Reds system!
I do not get the impression that Tyson Lewis will be the #8 prospect in the Cincinnati Reds system this time next year. The freshly minted 20 year old spent his age-19 season split between the Arizona Complex League and with the Daytona Tortugas in A-ball down in the Florida State League, turning heads with […]
MLB Roundup – What’s left for the Cincinnati Reds?
The quest of the Cincinnati Reds to never again be last while feigning interest in actually being first continued over the last week whether they liked it, or not. Off the board came Kyle Tucker, first, whose signature with the Los Angeles Dodgers further solidified their modern Evil Empire status. The New York Mets, meanwhile, […]
Community Prospect Rankings: #8 prospect in the Cincinnati Reds system
Steele Hall was just taken 9th overall in the most recent MLB Draft, turned 18 years of age, and found himself ranked 7th on the 2026 Community Prospect Rankings at Red Reporter dot com. Pretty impressive six months there, kid! After one of the tightest voting rounds in CPR history, we move now towards voting […]
Steele Hall is the #7 prospect in the Cincinnati Reds system!
We have already had several incredibly close voting results in this year’s Community Prospect Rankings, but the race for spot #7 was by far the most ridiculous. The longer I left the poll open, the more confusing it got. At various points Tuesday, each of Chase Petty, Tyson Lewis, and Steele Hall were the top […]
Community Prospect Rankings: #7 prospect in the Cincinnati Reds system
Cam Collier came off the board with the #6 ranking in this year’s Community Prospect Rankings of the top prospects in the Cincinnati Reds system, and is quite well deserving of the honor. Very excited to see what he can do in 2026 in what hopes to be a full, healthy season again. Now, we […]
Cam Collier is the #6 prospect in the Cincinnati Reds system!
It’s the dream of all baseball players to have a singular, meteoric rise from the moment they turn professional until their on top of the baseball world. It’s surely the dream of the teams that select them, too. More often than not, it’s a rockier road, and certainly not a linear one. That’s been the […]
Community Prospect Rankings: #6 prospect in the Cincinnati Reds system
Edwin Arroyo has a chance to fight his way onto the Cincinnati Reds roster at some point in 2026, and his elite defense likely means he’ll stick there for quite some time. That was good enough for him to take home the #5 spot in this year’s Community Prospect Rankings, and now we move on […]
The Reds tried, and failed, to sign Elly De La Cruz to a record contract
It is impossible to start this conversation without highlighting that the agent for Cincinnati Reds superstar, Scott Boras, has spent an entire generation advising his best and brightest stars to eschew contract offers early in their careers in pursuit of more money down the line in free agency. We witnessed that just last winter with […]
Edwin Arroyo is the #5 prospect in the Cincinnati Reds system!
Edwin Arroyo returned to the playing field for the 2025 season with AA Chattanooga after his 2024 season was lost to a shoulder injury (and subsequent surgery), and the results were more or less what you’d expect to see from a talented player with that kind of rust. On the whole, he hit .284/.345/.371 with […]
Did the Bo Bichette signing and Gavin Lux trade pave the way for a Mets/Reds deal?
In losing Gavin Lux to the Tampa Bay Rays in last night’s three-team deal (that looped in the Los Angeles Angels), the Cincinnati Reds did not really lose an infielder. They did not really lose an outfielder, either. They lost a left-handed bat. That’s what Lux had become on this particular Reds roster – no […]
Reds trade Gavin Lux to Tampa in three-team deal with Los Angeles Angels
We thought the deal to acquire Gavin Lux from the Los Angeles Dodgers this time last offseason was an odd one for the Cincinnati Reds. Lux, a former top prospect at short, had been moved off the position due to his lack of defensive prowess, and his bat had never yet lived up to the […]
Community Prospect Rankings: #5 prospect in the Cincinnati Reds system
Hector Rodriguez emerged as the #4 prospect in this year’s Community Prospect Rankings in one of the closest votes in recent memory, claiming a slight plurality on a very talented, very crowded ballot. Now, it’s time to figure out who will follow him on this year’s list! Per usual, there will be a poll embedded […]
Hector Rodriguez is the #4 prospect in the Cincinnati Reds system!
In the first somewhat surprise of the 2026 Community Prospect Rankings, outfielder Hector Rodriguez has claimed the #4 spot in one of the tightest votes I can remember. In fact, I let it run a few hours longer than originally intended since on three separate occasions this morning I checked the results only to find […]
Reds sign Dominican OF Angel Nunez as international signing period begins
Major League Baseball’s international signing period officially opened on Thursday morning, and the Cincinnati Reds wasted little time in making official a major deal that had been long in the works. Outfielder Angel Nunez, Jr. put pen to paper on a deal featuring a $3 million signing bonus, as the fine folks at MLB Pipeline […]
