Reds News

Today, Cincinnati Reds fans are left contemplating the future as the team sits at 43-52, nine games under .500 and firmly in last place in the NL Central. Injuries continue to plague the roster, with Matt McLain stuck on the IL and facing tough competition for playing time when healthy. Meanwhile, Chase Burns shines in the All-Star spotlight, appearing in the game but leaving fans wondering how long he'll be in the mix for the Reds. Sal Stewart had a moment to celebrate as he reached base in his first career All-Star appearance, but the team's overall performance has fans questioning the direction of the front office. With a lukewarm run differential and inconsistent offensive output, the Reds must decide whether to embrace a rebuild or push forward as they navigate the second half of the season.

In City of Brotherly Love, AL rides 3-run 1st to win All-Star Game
PHILADELPHIA -- It was a celebration of America. And a celebration for the American League. The 2026 All-Star Game defied the regular-season standings that have been marked by unassertive AL teams. The 4-0 AL win in the 96th staging of the Midsummer Classic was more in keeping with a decades-long

It’s Home Run Derby time!
Major League Baseball’s All Star celebration technically got underway yesterday even though they basically buried the Futures Game from existence by playing it concurrent with actual MLB games – Alfredo Duno started, caught 4.0 IP, and hit a 400 foot fly ball to CF that was caught.

WANTED: A new front office to run the next Cincinnati Reds rebuild
We asked. You responded…overwhelmingly. Last week we kicked the question to you about whether or not you trusted the current iteration of front office folk at the helm of the Cincinnati Reds to run the team’s next inevitable rebuild. After all, they sit 9 games under .500 and in dead last in the NL Central […]
