Whether it was via free agency or trades, the Cincinnati Reds are rebuilding with young players. They have traded every player that they deemed too expensive to keep. That has resulted in Joey Votto and Homer Bailey playing with a bunch of young players.
Many start the list with Johnny Cueto, but it began earlier than that. The Reds traded Ryan Hanigan and let Bronson Arroyo walk via free agency. That happened following the 2013 season, the same year Dusty Baker left.
The change came in 2015. They were facing free agency for Johnny Cueto and Mike Leake.
