The Cincinnati Reds' pre-holiday acquisition of outfielder Dane Meyers can't be overlooked. The Reds shipped prospect Ethan O'Donnell to the Miami Marlins in exchange for a 29-year-old outfielder who is a quality defender with lots of speed and hits left-handed pitching extremely well. Myers owns a career slash line of .297/.360/.456 against lefties with a 126 wRC+.
Myers isn't a home run addition by any means, but his presence on the roster may remove any possibility of the Reds reuniting with Miguel Andujar. The slugger — who was traded to Cincy at the July 31 deadline — was a revelation after coming over from the Athletics midway through the 2025 season.
