As the Cincinnati Reds wrap up their spring training in Arizona, the recent roster cuts have sparked some intriguing discussions. With Wade Miley being sent to minor league camp as he continues his recovery from Tommy John surgery, and the surprising cut of Will Banfield, the team is left with some critical decisions to make before the season kicks off.
What do you think about the Reds' decision to keep their backup catcher options internal? With Tyler Stephenson's injury, is it wise to rely on players like Jose Trevino and potentially Austin Wynns? Or should the Reds explore the waiver wire for more experienced options?
Banfield's performance this spring raised eyebrows—three hits in 20 at-bats with a .150 average and 11 strikeouts. Can we really afford to gamble on a player with such a shaky track record, especially when the team is looking to compete?
And what about Wade Miley? With his history of injuries, is it time for the Reds to consider moving on from him, or do you believe he still has something to offer if he can return healthy?
Let’s also talk about the bullpen. With Alexis Diaz now on the injured list, how do you see the Reds managing their pitching depth? Who do you think will step up in his absence, and what impact will this have on the team's performance early in the season?
Share your thoughts, bold predictions, and any insights you have about the Reds' roster decisions and how they might shape the upcoming season!
