Locked On Reds - Daily Podcast On The Cincinnati RedsMentioned in this episode
Episode Notes
Cincinnati Reds target power with potential moves for Eugenio Suarez and a reunion with Austin Hayes—could Suarez’s slugging transform the lineup into a division contender? Jeff and Steve assess the Reds’ pursuit of a much-needed lineup upgrade, debating the impact of Suarez’s 49 home runs and Hayes’ consistency amid last year’s injuries. Discussion covers lineup protection for Elly De La Cruz, the ripple effect on player development, and the latest MLB Network top 100 rankings featuring Hunter Greene, Andrew Abbott, and De La Cruz.
With rumors swirling and TV deal uncertainty casting doubt on front office strategy, the hosts unpack Nick Krall’s shifting directives and what’s needed for Cincinnati to capitalize on their pitching improvements. Will ownership greenlight the final piece for a Division Title run, or stall out amid contract confusion?
