With the MLB season just around the corner, the Cincinnati Reds are making headlines, but not all of them are positive. The team is navigating a youth movement while grappling with the uncertainty of player extensions. Hunter Greene is locked in, but what about the future of other promising talents like Spencer Steer and Tyler Stephenson?
As fans, we often find ourselves in a tug-of-war between hope and reality. The Reds have a history of losing key players to bigger markets, and with Elly De La Cruz's potential, the fear of him following suit is palpable. Will the Reds be able to secure their young stars before they hit free agency, or are we destined to watch them walk away to teams like the Dodgers or Mets?
Let’s dive into this! What are your thoughts on the Reds' approach to extensions? Should they prioritize locking up players like Stephenson, or is it wiser to focus on building depth and waiting for the right moment?
And speaking of depth, with Spencer Steer’s shoulder issues potentially sidelining him at the start of the season, how do you see the Reds managing their roster? Could this be an opportunity for younger players like Christian Encarnacion-Strand to shine, or will it expose the team's lack of depth?
Bold prediction time: If the Reds fail to extend their young stars, will they regret it in the next five years? Or do you think they have a solid plan in place that will keep them competitive?
Let’s hear your takes!
