Cincinnati Reds Option Former Top Pick Back To Triple-A

 

The Cincinnati Reds have been fantastic in 2023 on the back of breakout years from rookies Elly De La Cruz and Matt McClain, while Joey Votto has a bounce back season, but unfortunately, not all of their home grown players have seen this type of success.

At 28-years of age, there's not much time left for him to make an impact with Cincinnati, and with 353 games under his belt in Cincinnati, he just hasn't proven he can be a difference maker, so keep an eye on this situation going forward.
