The Cincinnati Reds will be headed to Goodyear in a couple of weeks, but the roster still feels incomplete. Though Nick Krall and the front office have done a fine job reworking the bullpen, the lineup has gone mostly untouched despite finishing in the bottom-third of the league in both home runs and slugging.
But the Reds have a cohesive unit and good team chemistry — which is more than some other organizations can say. Sometimes, clashes between players and management create untenable situations in the clubhouse. On other occasions, a team's aggressive offseason moves can create a logjam on the roster — Reds fans experienced this with Jonathan India after the 2023 season.
