The Cincinnati Reds opened last offseason with a big splash, trading Jonathan India to the Kansas City Royals for Brady Singer. The 2025 season proved Cincinnati the winners of that deal, but Singer’s value to the Reds may not just be limited to the field. A crafty deal by the front office could convert the pitcher’s talents into a big return.
Singer was by far the most reliable and consistent member of the Reds’ staff last season. Since his debut in 2020, he has developed into one of the better mid-rotation guys in the majors and has held an ERA+ above 110 in four of his six years.
