Cincinnati Reds Cody Reed faces a battle to make the roster
After a difficult 2017 for the Cincinnati Reds, Cody Reed looks to re-establish himself as a big league option.
When the Cincinnati Reds traded away Johnny Cueto to the Kansas City Royals, they thought they were getting a top pitching prospect. That player was Cody Reed. Brandon Finnegan established himself first, but Reed is still developing as a pitcher.
Last season Reed ended the year with a 5.09 ERA for the Reds. His season was actually better than that as his only MLB start was a disaster. He allowed 10 earned runs over just 3 2/2 innings during his April 22 outing.
