Charlie Goldsmith joined The Stone Shields Show for a deep dive into a pivotal week of Cincinnati Reds news and offseason developments. Charlie and Stone break down the Reds’ signing of Emilio Pagán, what the move signals about the club’s bullpen strategy, and where he fits in the 2025 pitching staff. They also dig into the latest Kyle Schwarber rumors, how realistic a deal might be, and what it would mean for the Reds’ lineup construction and payroll outlook.
The conversation goes beyond free agency, touching on the Reds’ extra-inning struggles in 2025, the ongoing need for roster depth, and the front office’s approach to balancing young talent with proven veterans. Packed with insight, context, and forward-looking analysis, this episode offers a smart, comprehensive snapshot of where the Reds stand as the offseason heats up.
