The Cincinnati Reds have made some intriguing moves this offseason, adding three pitchers on minor league deals, including Ian Gibaut, Joe La Sorsa, and Albert Abreu. With the team seemingly set for the upcoming season, it raises some interesting questions about their strategy and potential for success.
First off, how do you feel about the Reds' approach to building their bullpen? Are these depth acquisitions enough to bolster a unit that has struggled in recent years? With injuries being a constant concern, do you think the Reds will rely heavily on these new signings to step up and deliver when called upon?
Looking at the individual players, Gibaut had a breakout year in 2023 but faced setbacks last season. Can he regain his form and become a reliable option again? La Sorsa has shown flashes of potential but has been inconsistent. What do you think his role will be in the bullpen? And then there's Abreu, who had a solid stint in Japan. Can he translate that success back to the majors, or will he struggle to find his footing again?
Moreover, with the Reds' roster seemingly set, what are your bold predictions for the 2025 season? Could this team surprise us and win significantly more games than last year? Or are we looking at another rebuilding year?
Let’s dive into the discussion! What are your thoughts on these signings, and how do you see the Reds' season unfolding?
