Bleacher Report's vision of Reds' 2026 rotation hints at looming roster battle

The Cincinnati Reds possess enviable starting rotation depth, even as they prepare for the losses of Zack Littell and Nick Martinez in free agency. It's worth noting that their "depth" isn't exactly made up of a motley crew of innings-eaters; the Reds employ a barrage of high-upside arms capable of shutting down opposing offenses every time they take the mound.

Hunter Greene is the obvious ace among the staff, and he's followed by breakout star Andrew Abbott and southpaw Nick Lodolo. Each of those pitchers is 27 or younger, team-controlled through at least 2027, and posted an ERA below 3.
