A pretty good start to the season is wasted when the go 9-19 in August and fail to make the post season. The Reds are below .500 for the 2nd straight season and for only the 4th time in 17 seasons since taking over the Reds for the 2011 season. It maybe time to rebuild the franchise.

The Reds could not settle on a 5 man rotation all season with an injury to Larry Baker that messed up the rotation, Campos struggling after the trade going (3-5, 5.55 ERA in 12 starts) after the deal. Lucas missed all of the 2026 season with an injury and had his 1st career losing season, his highest ERA prior to this season was 4.50. Walsh was expected to crack the rotation, but could not get consistant while only Perez and Whinnett could really be counted on.

The Reds changed closers mid way through the season after Miranda struggled then got injured, Bayley and Miranda were both expected to add more to the pen then they did. Coleman and Johnson were pleasant additions though.
| Catchers | Team | Age | AB | HR | RBI | AVG | OPS | Injured |
| Jesus Lopez | Reds | 25 | 454 | 47 | 106 | 0.311 | 1.012 |
|
| Stan Shelton | Reds | 26 | 311 | 22 | 47 | 0.305 | 0.928 |
|
| Sergio Martinez | Reds | 27 | 30 | 0 | 2 | 0.300 | 0.767 |
|
The only problem here was that we couldn't find enough at bats for Shelton. Maybe a position change or use him for trade bait is appropriate.
| Infielders | Team | Age | AB | HR | RBI | AVG | OPS | Injured |
| Jeff White | Reds | 27 | 492 | 10 | 54 | 0.244 | 0.721 |

Never really missed the loss of Andrew Cooper, Gonzalez and Cortez replaced him nicely.
| Outfielders | Team | Age | AB | HR | RBI | AVG | OPS | Injured |
| Billy Anderson | Reds | 30 | 596 | 44 | 110 | 0.312 | 0.917 |

| Dan Swain | Reds | 29 | 7 | 0 | 0 | 0.143 | 0.286 |

The lowest HR and RBI totals for over 5 years for Anderson (.308, 31 HR and 73 RBIs in 2022). Garc and Quinones should be our future, not sure what can be done with Bautista.
