Big news from NBC Sports today: Joey Votto (along with Clayton Kershaw and Anthony Rizzo) will be back on your TV screens this baseball season.

It starts all over again with the flight to Phoenix for #reds Spring Training.

Reds reliever Graham Ashcraft won his arbitration hearing. Will earn $1.75 million. Club had offered $1.25 million. Tyler Stephenson’s hearing is scheduled on Monday.

Catcher Ben Rortvedt - the Reds hardly knew thee. He was claimed off waivers by the Dodgers. The Reds had claimed him from the Dodgers on Nov. 12.

Of those in the Reds organization in the World Baseball Classic, only Eugenio Suarez and Edwin Arroyo are on the 40-man roster.

In a handy FAQ, here are some things for fans to know ahead of Reds Spring Training. www.mlb.com/reds/news/re...

Now that the Reds and Eugenio Suarez are reunited, what might the regular lineup look like for 2026? www.mlb.com/reds/news/eu...

Eugenio Suarez wanted to return to the Reds. Ownership was willing to extend payroll above its limit. Why? For both sides, it was about familiarity. www.mlb.com/news/eugenio...

Suarez did not want to ask Spencer Steer for his No. 7 back. He selected No. 28, which he wore in Seattle and Arizona.

To make room for Suarez, the Reds designated for assignment C Ben Rortvedt, who was claimed off waivers from the Dodgers on November 12, 2025. Cincinnati's 40-player roster is at capacity.

Reds have made the signing of Eugenio Suarez "official"... will be talking to him on zoom shortly.

The Reds have announced that they are among clubs that have left FanDuel Sports Network and will have MLB produce and distribute games in 2026.

The Reds are one week from pitchers and catchers reporting to Spring Training. Here are five things to watch out for during camp. www.mlb.com/reds/news/ro...

After an entire offseason of searching for more offense, the Reds found the bat they've been seeking in a familiar face -- Eugenio Suarez. More on the addition, which is pending a physical. www.mlb.com/reds/news/eu...

Suarez is expected to be the primary DH for the Reds but also play 1B/3B. Stewart will also see time at 1B, 3B and DH while Steer is expected to see time in the OF and move around as a utility player.

Source: Suarez mutual option is for $16 million. He will likely mostly DH but can also play 1B/3B.

Breaking news: My colleague Mark Feinsand has confirmed the ESPN report that Eugenio Suarez is going to the Reds on a one-year, $15 million contract with a mutual option for 2027. Still pending physical. Longtime fan favorite is coming back.

The stability and strength of the front four of their rotation gives the Reds plenty to like about their pitching staff going into the 2026 season. www.mlb.com/reds/news/re...

The Reds signed RHP Darren McCaughan to a Minor League contract. Came with invite to big league camp at Spring Training.

After showing he was healthy again in the Arizona Fall League, Rhett Lowder is ready to compete for the fifth spot in the Reds rotation. www.mlb.com/news/reds-pi...

Absent a major acquisition, the Reds offensive makeup is largely the same going into the 2026 season. If that remains the case, the players already with the club know they will need to step it up after an inconsistent 2025. www.mlb.com/reds/news/re...

Reds shortstop Elly De La Cruz made no excuses for 2025 and was eager to take his entire game to a higher level in 2026. www.mlb.com/reds/news/el...

Elly De La Cruz says he will not be playing in the World Baseball Classic for the Dominican Republic. The decision was made in conjunction with the Reds because he is coming off of last year’s left quad injury.

Before he signed with the Reds, reliever Pierce Johnson got sold on Cincinnati by his best friend, closer Emilio Pagán. More of the deal that adds to the bullpen. www.mlb.com/reds/news/pi...

Reds closer Emilio Pagan on the signing of Johnson: “I’ve been following Pierce Johnson for a while, seeing that he’s one of my best friends. We played together in San Diego for two years. I know his family really well. ... I was trying to push him in this direction as much as I could."

I tried writing out a few potential Reds lineups for 2026 based on the current situation. All of the options made it crystal clear that they very much still need to add a bat during what is left of the offseason. That or several young guys must level up their production. www.mlb.com/news/reds-po...

Today is the day for clubs and arbitration-eligible players to exchange figures if they can't reach a contract agreement by 8 pm ET. The Reds' arbitration-eligible players are Ashcraft, Benson, Friedl, Lodolo, Lux, McLain, Santillan, Singer, Steer and Stephenson.
