The Cincinnati Reds aren't going to trade Ke'Bryan Hayes. Can elite glove work alone power a postseason run, or does the lineup desperately need more firepower? Jeff and Tim Daniel debate the Reds’ offseason priorities, dissecting Hayes’ value, the impact on Elly De La Cruz, and the ripple effects of sacrificing bats for glove supremacy.
Gavin Lux’s puzzling role, Matt McLain’s comeback potential, and the ongoing search for a true middle-of-the-order bat headline a critical roster evaluation. Plus, a revealing MLB executive poll casts doubt on Cincinnati’s path to the next World Series, spotlighting the Cubs’ spending advantage and exposing cracks in the NL Central hierarchy. Is a new CBA and salary cap the only hope for a true Reds resurgence?
