Cincinnati Reds Offseason Wish List

Clay Snowden outlines a potential offseason blueprint for the Cincinnati Reds, arguing the franchise faces a tight competitive window with young core players entering arbitration. With starting pitcher Hunter Greene expected to miss the 2027 season, Snowden projects the Reds have roughly $30 million to $40 million to spend and must address significant depth concerns across the roster.

Snowden suggests re-signing catcher Tyler Stephenson and reliever Brock Burke while targeting starting pitchers such as Jack Flaherty or Zac Gallen on short-term deals. He also identifies outfielders Taylor Ward, Daulton Varsho, and Evan Carter as potential targets, alongside utility options Mauricio Dubon and Edmundo Sosa.
