The Cincinnati Reds starting rotation is in shambles. After being the team’s biggest strength last season, the Reds’ starting staff has emerged as Cincinnati’s biggest weakness in 2021. But there is hope, as these three young arms are likely to find their way into the rotation by Opening Day in 2022.
Based on what we’ve seen this season, I think it’s safe to say that the Reds starting rotation heading into 2022 will look quite different from the quintet of Sonny Gray, Luis Castillo, Wade Miley, José De León, and Jeff Hoffman.
