Reds may already have their 2026 Silver Slugger hiding in plain sight

The Cincinnati Reds came up empty in their quest for a Silver Slugger nomination this season. The National League Silver Slugger finalists were revealed earlier this week, and not a single Reds player was among those chosen.

Next year, however, might be a little different. On can assume that Elly De La Cruz fell just short of being named a finalist among the NL shortstops, and with a full season under his belt in 2026, it's quite possible that Sal Stewart could be among the top-3 hitters at his position next season.
