The Cincinnati Reds made a couple of transactions over the weekend, and fans are starting to piece together the roster puzzle. Cincinnati signed former first-round draft pick JJ Bleday and traded for Miami Marlins outfielder Dane Myers. Fans should expect to see at least one of those players in the Reds lineup every day.
While both Bleday and Myers have their flaws, together they could form a reliable platoon in the Reds outfield. It's unknown where the Reds' newest additions might lineup defensively, though both have experience in center field and manager Terry Francona has spoken about the need to give TJ Friedl more time off in 2026.
