The Cincinnati Reds are a very young and inexperienced team. Sure, they have the veteran leadership of manager Terry Francona at the helm, but outside of Emilio closer Pagán and backup catcher Jose Trevino, the Reds clubhouse lacking a true veteran presence.
If the season started today, the Reds would have just three players (Pagán, Trevino, and Sam Moll) over the age of 30. If Cincinnati is serious about contending for a division title in 2026, they're going to need some grizzled vets who know what it's like to win at the highest level.
The trick, of course, is to find experienced players who can still produce.
