Nick Kirby and Mike Hart dive into all the latest Cincinnati Reds news and rumors. They break down Ryan Vilade’s trade to the Tampa Bay Rays and debate whether the move could backfire on the Reds. The guys also cover the Reds’ coaching staff changes — Willie Harris taking over as third base coach, Brad Mills retiring, and Bill Haselman joining the staff as catching coach.

They discuss Ke’Bryan Hayes winning the Gold Glove, what that means for his 2026 season outlook, and how it compares to Reds infielders. Nick and Mike also go over the Reds’ offseason roster decisions, including option moves and free agents, and rank Cincinnati’s top impending free agents.

Plus, updates on Nick Krall’s 2026 payroll and budget, Matt McLain’s contract situation, Reds prospects in the Arizona Fall League, and baseball returning to the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics — all that and much more on this week’s episode.
