The Cincinnati Reds are not in trouble yet, but soon enough, they will need to make some tough decisions regarding the starting rotation.
There's plenty of talent among the staff, whether it's Nick Lodolo, Hunter Greene, Andrew Abbott, or Chase Burns. At some point, however, the Reds front office will need to decide which arms to hang on to, and which ones to let loose.
Although Greene was an All-Star last season and Lodolo has been tremendous in 2025, the smarter play for Cincinnati might be to focus on keeping Burns and Abbott over the long haul.
