Since 2023, the Cincinnati Reds have done little to lock up their young talent. Hunter Greene inked a six-year, $53 million extension shortly after the 2023 season began, but the Reds front office has laid low the past couple of winters despite a number of players who could (and should) be extended beyond their arbitration years.
Outside of Greene, only Jose Trevino and Ke'Bryan Hayes have guaranteed contracts beyond the 2026 season. During the GM Meetings this last week, Reds President of Baseball Operations Nick Krall mentioned that he has had extension conversations with a lot of players on the team and made some offers in recent years.
