The Cincinnati Reds' spring training broadcast schedule has just been released, and it’s raising eyebrows across the fanbase. With only five games scheduled on FanDuel Sports Network, and just three featuring the Reds' own broadcasters, it begs the question: is this a sign of deeper issues within the organization or just a reflection of the current broadcasting landscape?

Let’s dive into the implications of this limited coverage. For a team with a passionate fanbase, the lack of access to spring training games feels like a missed opportunity. Are the Reds underestimating their fans' desire to engage with the team during this crucial preparation period? Or is this a strategic move to cut costs, leaving fans to rely on MLB.tv for a more comprehensive viewing experience?

Moreover, the fact that high school teams are broadcasting more games than a Major League team is both baffling and concerning. What does this say about the state of sports broadcasting in 2025? Are we witnessing a shift where local teams are being overshadowed by smaller, community-driven broadcasts?

And let’s not forget about the return of Annie Sabo to the broadcast team. While her presence is welcomed, will it be enough to enhance the viewing experience for fans?

As we gear up for spring training, I want to hear your thoughts. How do you feel about the Reds' broadcast strategy? Are you willing to pay for MLB.tv to catch more games, or do you think the Reds should step up their game and provide more access? What are your predictions for the team's performance this season based on the limited exposure we’ll have during spring training?

Let’s get the conversation rolling!
