The best move the Cincinnati Reds made all offseason
No, no...we’re talking players here!

Canning David Bell and bringing in future Hall of Fame manager Terry Francona was perhaps the biggest move in the Cincinnati Reds clubhouse this winter, but it was far from the only one.
On the field, the team added veteran backstop Jose Trevino (and gave him a contract extension), a move that became spotlighted even more when Tyler Stephenson went down in spring camp.
They also brought in Gavin Lux from the Los Angeles Dodgers, his versatility already being a key cog in how the Reds shuffle their lineup while absorbing injuries up and down the roster. And he just had a 4-hit night!
Lux has gotten ample time at 2B so far in 2025 thanks largely to the hamstring injury suffered by Matt McLain and, y’know, the trade that sent Jonathan India to Kansas City. Said trade brought back Brady Singer, whose production so far this year would look pretty damn ace-like for any club that didn’t have Hunter Greene on the roster as a benchmark.
Cincinnati also bolstered their bullpen by bringing in veteran lefty (and former All Star) Taylor Rogers, who admittedly has hardly had anything to really do down there since the team’s starting rotation has been so bonkers good in the early going.
What think you, Red Reporter readers? Which player addition made by the Reds over the winter has been the best for the club so far?
