CINCINNATI (WXIX) - On the whole, this Cincinnati Reds’ offseason sounds like it’s going to follow the status quo.
Following the team’s first full-season playoff berth since 2013, president of baseball operations Nick Krall announced on Monday that all of the coaches have been invited to return. The budget for 2026 will get set over the next month, which will shape how much the Reds can do in free agency. The biggest path toward improvement will be the young core taking the next step.
“Internally, some guys need to step up,” general manager Brad Meador said. “We need guys to have good offseasons, show back up ready to go and show back up ready to take the next step. We all know we need to take the next step. Part of that is leadership. Some of the young guys aren’t young anymore.”
