Reds' Jose Trevino: Shipped to Cincy
The Yankees traded Trevino to the Reds on Friday in exchange for Fernando Cruz and Alex Jackson, Jack Curry of YES Network reports.
Trevino slashed .215/.288/.354 with eight homers and 28 RBI over 234 regular-season plate appearances in 2024 while backing up Austin Wells. With Tyler Stephenson already in Cincinnati, Trevino will almost certainly continue to act as a backup, but the 32-year-old's career .637 OPS isn't likely to earn him a spot in the lineup very often.

Reds' Bryan Shaw: NRI deal with Cincinnati
The Reds signed Shaw to a minor-league contract Friday that includes an invitation to spring training, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.
He'll be reunited with manager Terry Francona, who called Shaw in from the bullpen a total of 519 times during their seven seasons together in Cleveland. The 37-year-old Shaw has split the last two seasons between the majors and minors, holding a 4.53 ERA and 44:21 K:BB over 49.2 frames with the White Sox during that stretch.

Reds' Roansy Contreras: Claimed by Cincinnati
The Reds claimed Contreras off waivers from the Rangers on Thursday.
It's the second time this offseason that Contreras has been on the move via the waivers process, as he previously went from the Angels to the Rangers. The 25-year-old held a 4.35 ERA and 56:31 K:BB over 68.1 innings between the Pirates and Angels in 2024. Contreras has experience as a starting pitcher and reliever, though it's not clear which role the Reds have in mind for him.

Reds' Cooper Bowman: Snagged in Rule 5 draft
The Reds selected Bowman with the seventh pick in the Rule 5 draft Wednesday, JJ Cooper of Baseball America reports.
Bowman has at least plus speed and isn't a zero in the power department, so he could be fantasy relevant as a rookie if he were to find his way into steady playing time. A natural second baseman who can play a little bit in the outfield, Bowman had a strong run at Double-A in 2024, slashing .281/.378/.466 with 12 home runs, 35 steals, a 12.4 percent walk rate and a 20.2 percent strikeout rate in 80 games. His production slipped in his first exposure to Triple-A pitching, as he slashed .218/.284/.308 with zero home runs, eight steals and a 24.3 percent strikeout rate in 38 games in the Pacific Coast League. The Reds will likely use Bowman as a bench piece unless they're shorthanded, but he has fantasy-relevant tools and is now headed to a great home park to maximize his fringe-average power.

Reds' Sal Stewart: Should be ready for spring training
Stewart (wrist) was swinging a bat in October and should be fully ready for spring training, Baseball America reports.
He injured his wrist in an off-field accident in mid-July and was working his way back from the injury at the Reds' spring training complex before injuring it further and needing surgery. Stewart is a bat-first prospect who makes good swing decisions and a lot of contact with burgeoning power. He might be able to handle third base or second base but could also slide to first base/designated hitter.

Reds' Rhett Lowder: Opening Day status uncertain
The Reds currently have at least six starters who could be on the Opening Day roster following the Brady Singer trade, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports. In addition to Singer, there's Hunter Greene, Nick Martinez, Nick Lodolo, Andrew Abbott and Lowder.
Greene, Singer and Martinez are shoo-ins for three rotation spots, and after that it's a little less certain. Both Abbott and Lodolo have health concerns, and Lodolo for that matter is coming off of a rough season. Lowder posted a 1.17 ERA and 1.27 WHIP over six late-season starts after roaring through the Reds' minor league system. It's plausible that they could decide he needs more time to develop, especially if Lodolo and Abbott are ready to go.

Reds' Brady Singer: Dealt to Cincy
The Royals traded Singer to the Reds on Friday in exchange for Jonathan India (ankle) and Joey Wiemer.
After posting a 5.52 ERA and 1.45 WHIP in 2023, Singer bounced back nicely with a 3.71 ERA and 1.27 WHIP to go along with a 170:54 K:BB in 2024. Now in Cincinnati, the 28-year-old shouldn't have much trouble securing a spot in the Reds' starting rotation, which is currently headlined by Hunter Greene.

Reds' Santiago Espinal: Inks deal with Cincy
Espinal and the Reds agreed to a one-year, $2.4 million contract Friday to avoid arbitration, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
Espinal was traded from the Blue Jays to the Reds in March and had a .246/.295/.356 slash line with nine home runs and 11 steals in 118 games during 2024. He should fill a utility role for Cincinnati again in 2025.

Reds' Tyler Callihan: Added to 40-man roster
The Reds selected Callihan's contract from Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.
Callihan has only played four games above Double-A, so he probably won't be up in the majors early this season, but he had a strong showing last year in the upper minors. A utility player who moves between second base, left field and first base, Callihan slashed .276/.359/.429 with nine home runs and 22 steals in 73 games, primarily at Double-A.

Reds' Luis Mey: Protected from Rule 5 draft
The Reds selected Mey's contract from Double-A Chattanooga on Tuesday.
Mey has a big-time fastball and impressed in the Arizona Fall League, where he did not allow a run while striking out eight and saving six games in 8.2 innings for Glendale. He has really struggled with his control at every stop besides this small AFL sample (16.4 percent walk rate at Double-A, 18.8 percent walk rate at High-A last year), so Mey probably won't be ready for high-leverage work in the big leagues anytime soon.

Reds' Nick Martinez: Accepting qualifying offer
Martinez accepted the Reds' $21.05 million qualifying offer for 2025 on Sunday, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.
The right-hander declined his $12 million player option with the Reds for 2025, but he'll remain with the organization after being extended the qualifying offer. Martinez started in 16 of his 42 appearances in 2024 and had a 3.10 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 116:18 K:BB across 142.1 innings. Given the salary bump he should begin 2025 working exclusively as a starter.
