Reds’ worst tormentor from last season could become perfect lefty fit in 2026

The Cincinnati Reds are in dire need of a veteran lefty in the bullpen. Sam Moll, who completed just 18 u2153 innings last season, is the sole relief southpaw on the 40-man roster, and the farm system consists primarily of righties. Drew Pomeranz, whose comeback story with the Chicago Cubs drew acclaim last year, may be the answer the Reds are looking for.

Pomeranz has always bedeviled the Reds whether as a starter or a reliever, but he was particularly good with the division-rival Cubs in 2025. In six games, the lefty held Cincinnati to a single run.
