Hunter Greene has officially been named the Cincinnati Reds' Opening Day starter, and it’s hard not to feel a mix of excitement and anticipation as we head into the 2025 season. After leading the National League in WAR last year and showcasing his electric pitching with a 2.75 ERA, Greene is poised to take the mound against the San Francisco Giants on March 27th.

But let’s dive deeper into this situation. With Greene at the helm, what does this mean for the Reds' pitching rotation as a whole? The addition of Brady Singer and Nick Martinez, along with the uncertainty surrounding the fifth starter, raises some intriguing questions. How do you think this new rotation will perform compared to last year? Will Greene’s success inspire the rest of the staff to elevate their game, or could the pressure of being the ace lead to unexpected challenges?

Moreover, with Greene’s impressive spring performance, including a dominant outing against the Texas Rangers, is it too bold to predict that he could be a serious contender for the Cy Young Award again this season? What are your thoughts on his potential to build on last year’s success?

And let’s not forget about the Opening Day Parade! Chris Sabo leading the festivities adds a nostalgic touch for long-time Reds fans. How important do you think these traditions are for the team and the city?

Join the conversation! Share your predictions for Greene’s season, thoughts on the Reds' rotation, and your feelings about the upcoming Opening Day celebrations. What are you most looking forward to this season?
