The Cincinnati Reds spent the first two months of the off-season trying to find another starter to compete with their prospects before sending away Dan Straily. Now the Reds are relying on a pair of prospects and the oft-injured Homer Bailey to start in 2017. In the interim they have only added relievers Drew Storen and Scott Feldman.
Anthony DeSclafani is penciled in as the number one starter. Since he came over in exchange for Mat Latos, he has been a quality starting pitcher. He had some arm issues last year, but looked like his old self by the end of the season.
