Reds News
The Reds managed to snag a 6-2 victory over the Dodgers yesterday, a much-needed boost in an otherwise bleak stretch marked by a 2-5 record and a staggering -39 run differential over the past week. While Sal Stewart solidifies his grip on the NL Rookie of the Year race, Brady Singer's recent struggles against the Dodgers raise serious doubts about a qualifying offer, turning it into a $23 million question for the front office. With the impressive pitching depth of last year now a distant memory, the Reds seem to be scrambling for answers as they close out a disappointing season. As the Dodgers celebrate yet another NL West title, the Reds must contemplate how to rebuild and shift focus for next year.
