On a chilly Tuesday night at Great American Ball Park, the Cincinnati Reds secured an 8-4 victory over the Seattle Mariners in the series opener, marking their fourth straight win and pushing their record to 9-8, above .500 for the first time since May 2024. The game was a showcase for Austin Hays, who made a thunderous debut with the Reds after missing the season's first 16 games due to a left calf strain. Signed to a one-year, $5 million contract in January, the 2023 All-Star outfielder proved his worth, going 2-for-4 with four RBIs, including a pivotal three-run homer, and etched his name in Reds history as only the third player since 1920 to drive in at least four runs in his team debut. The Reds trailed early, with Mariners' Dylan Moore hitting a leadoff homer and adding a two-run shot off starter Nick Lodolo, who struggled, allowing four runs over 4 2/3 innings. Seattle's Luis Castillo, a former Reds ace, held a 4-2 lead into the fifth, but Cincinnati's offense, bolstered by Hays and Gavin Lux, flipped the script. Lux, who had four hits, drove in two runs, including an RBI single in the fifth that set the stage for Hays. With two on, Hays crushed a 1-1 fastball from Castillo to center field for a go-ahead three-run homer, giving the Reds a 6-4 lead they wouldn't relinquish. The crowd of 17,205 roared as Hays rounded the bases, signaling his arrival as a key piece in Cincinnati's lineup. The Reds' bullpen sealed the win, with Scott Barlow earning the victory, and Graham Ashcraft, Tony Santillan, and Emilio Pagán combining for scoreless relief. Pagán closed the ninth with ease, retiring the Mariners in order. Despite Moore's two homers and four RBIs for Seattle, their four-game win streak ended as Castillo faltered, allowing six runs in 4 1/3 innings. Hays' debut underscored the Reds' offensive potential, especially with Matt McLain and Alexis Diaz also returning from the injured list. As Cincinnati eyes a strong homestand, Hays' historic night suggests he could be the spark to sustain their momentum. The teams face off again Wednesday, with Nick Martinez starting for the Reds against Bryce Miller.

The Cincinnati Reds have been on fire lately, showcasing their potential with a thrilling series win against the San Francisco Giants in April 2025. This recent success has fans buzzing and highlights the team's growing strength under new manager Terry Francona. The Reds' pitching staff, led by standout performances from Hunter Greene and Nick Lodolo, has been the backbone of their resurgence. Greene delivered a near-complete game shutout, striking out seven and allowing just four hits, while Lodolo followed with six scoreless innings, stifling the Giants' offense. These dominant outings snapped San Francisco's seven-game winning streak and secured Cincinnati's first series victory of the season. Offensively, the Reds have shown flashes of brilliance, with key contributions from players like Blake Dunn, whose two-run double broke a scoreless tie, and Elly De La Cruz, whose speed and bat continue to electrify. Despite some inconsistency at the plate, the team's ability to capitalize on critical moments has been a game-changer. The Reds' young core, blending athleticism and power, is starting to gel, and their aggressive base running has kept opponents on edge. Defensively, Cincinnati has tightened up, with slick plays from Matt McLain and De La Cruz turning heads. This series win at Oracle Park wasn't just a statement—it was a glimpse of what this Reds squad can achieve when clicking on all cylinders. While the Giants took two of three in their earlier meeting at Great American Ball Park, Cincinnati flipped the script on the road, proving they can hang with top competition. With Francona's leadership and a talented roster coming into its own, the Reds are building momentum. If they maintain this pitching dominance and find more offensive consistency, they could be a force in the NL Central all season long.

As of March 25, 2025, the Cincinnati Reds have wrapped up their spring training in Goodyear, Arizona, finishing with a 12-17-1 record in the Cactus League. Despite the losing tally, the focus was on preparation rather than results, culminating in a strong 13-2 victory over the Cleveland Guardians in their final game. Key performances highlighted the camp: shortstop Elly De La Cruz thrived, slashing .452/.553/.839 with six extra-base hits and six stolen bases, showcasing his superstar potential. Outfielder Austin Hays led the team with 14 RBIs and a .310 average, proving his value as a cleanup hitter. Pitching-wise, Hunter Greene, set to start Opening Day on March 27 against the San Francisco Giants, struck out six in four innings during his penultimate tune-up. Nick Lodolo also impressed in the finale, signaling rotation strength. However, injuries impacted the roster—Andrew Abbott, Spencer Steer, and Tyler Stephenson will start the season on the IL, opening spots for prospects like Jacob Hurtubise and Blake Dunn. Under new manager Terry Francona, the Reds emphasized farm system development and organizational unity, aiming to end their playoff drought since 2020 as they head back to Cincinnati. In March 2025, the Cincinnati Bengals secured their star wide receivers, Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, with lucrative long-term contracts, ensuring quarterback Joe Burrow's top targets remain in place. Chase signed a four-year, $161 million extension, making him the NFL's highest-paid non-quarterback at $40.25 million annually, with $73.9 million fully guaranteed at signing and $112 million total guaranteed. His deal includes a $41.17 million base salary and roster bonuses for 2025, with cash flow structured to deliver $105 million over three years, heavily front-loaded for flexibility. Higgins, previously on a franchise tag, inked a four-year, $115 million contract, averaging $28.75 million per year, the highest for a No. 2 receiver. His deal features $30 million fully guaranteed at signing, including a $20 million roster bonus in 2025, though his $13.8 million 2025 base salary remains unguaranteed, offering the Bengals an out after one year if needed. The Bengals deviated from their traditional signing bonus-heavy structure, opting for significant guarantees to appease Burrow's public push to retain both players. While this locks in their offensive core through 2029 (Chase) and 2028 (Higgins), critics note the team could have saved millions by acting earlier, as delays inflated costs amid a rising receiver market.
Nick Kirby recaps the Cincinnati Reds FINAL spring training game in Arizona. Nick talks about standout performances from Nick Lodolo, Ian Gibaut, Elly De La Cruz, Gavin Lux and more. Nick also breaks down the news that Alexis Diaz will start the season on the IL.

Watch Off the Bench Presented by UDF with Chatterbox Sports Monday-Friday 10 a.m. - 12 p.m. LIVE on the Chatterbox Sports YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE to the channel to ensure you never miss a thing. Chase Burns, the Cincinnati Reds' highly touted pitching prospect, is set to make his much-anticipated professional debut in a Spring Training game against the Texas Rangers on Wednesday, March 5, 2025. Selected as the No. 2 overall pick in the 2024 MLB Draft out of Wake Forest, Burns has quickly become a cornerstone of the Reds' future plans, boasting a triple-digit fastball and a slider widely regarded as one of the best in the prospect ranks. While this debut won't be televised, fans can still follow along via Statcast data, offering a glimpse into the 22-year-old's electric arsenal as he takes the mound for the first time in a Reds uniform. Burns' journey to this moment has been marked by dominance and deliberate preparation. At Wake Forest, he led college baseball with 191 strikeouts in 100 innings during the 2024 season, earning ACC Pitcher of the Year honors and cementing his status as a top draft talent. His fastball, which can touch 102 mph with exceptional vertical break, pairs devastatingly with a slider that features late, tight movement—attributes that have scouts projecting him as a future ace. After being drafted, the Reds opted to hold him out of minor league action in 2024, instead focusing on instructional league work to ensure he was primed for a full 2025 campaign. This approach mirrors the development path of fellow Wake Forest alum Rhett Lowder, who debuted for the Reds in 2024 just over a year after being drafted. For the Reds, Burns represents a critical piece in their ongoing effort to build a competitive rotation. With young arms like Hunter Greene, Nick Lodolo, and Lowder already in the mix, Burns' arrival could elevate Cincinnati's pitching staff to elite status. His debut comes at a pivotal time as the Reds aim to rebound from a middling 2024 season and push toward contention under new manager Terry Francona. While Spring Training stats are unofficial, this outing will offer an early look at how Burns' stuff translates against professional hitters, including those from a Rangers squad featuring starter Tyler Mahle. Though Burns is unlikely to break camp with the big-league club, a strong spring could accelerate his timeline to the majors. Reds fans, eager for a glimpse of their top prospect, will be watching closely as he takes his first step toward what many hope will be a transformative career in Cincinnati.

Welcome to the latest episode of The Cycle, FantasyPros' weekly fantasy baseball podcast! In this episode, Worm and Maher start by rounding the bases with Luis Gil, discussing whether James Wood is finally a prospect who hits the ground running this year, exploring the mystery of ace pitchers, and making the case for rules changes we want to see. Next, we dive into our Buy Low, Sell High segment, highlighting our favorite picks from this week's featured pros article and touch on players such as Marcus Semien, Dylan Cease, Masyn Winn, and Steven Kwan. In Waivers Central, we share our top waiver wire targets for the week, including Andrew Abott and Dean Kremer. We also discuss what we're most excited for this weekend. Maher is looking forward to attending the Phillies vs. Braves game on Sunday, while Worm is excited about Aaron Nola vs. Max Fried on Friday, Paul Skenes vs. Mets, and Garrett Crochet vs. Marlins on Saturday. Finally, we update our season-long 2-Start Pitcher Competition, where we can pick anyone but no repeats throughout the year. See who went with Nick Lodolo and who took Ronel Blanco as Maher looks to close the gap on Worm. Tune in for all this and more as we help you navigate your fantasy baseball season.
