Hunter Greene’s injury has Reds fans worried, but should they be? Jeff and Steve argue the Cincinnati Reds remain strong contenders for the NL Central, even as national media and oddsmakers lower expectations. With Andrew Abbott, Nick Lodolo, Chase Burns, and Rhett Lowder bolstering the starting rotation, the Reds’ pitching depth is underrated. The revamped lineup—with Eugenio Suárez, Sal Stewart, and a healthy Elly De La Cruz—sets the stage for breakout All-Star campaigns.

The hosts break down the Reds’ presence in the Locked On MLB Top 100, analyzing why Elly De La Cruz, Eugenio Suárez, Hunter Greene, Andrew Abbott, and Nick Lodolo made the cut. Plus, the battle for the outfield heats up: can Rece Hinds earn a roster spot, or will Blake Dunn and Hector Rodriguez get the call? Don’t miss the bold predictions, heated debates, and why smashing the FanDuel over may be the year’s best bet.
