Over at @theathletic.com, @keithlaw.bsky.social has his Top 20 Reds prospects. A great read as always. One thing I love about Keith is that he has his own opinions and sees things his own way. It adds to the conversation. There are some interesting names here www.nytimes.com/athletic/701...

When the Phillies want a star player in a competitive market, they typically wield years as their separator. It’s one reason why rival clubs are beginning to see them as Bo Bichette’s most serious suitor. Story: www.nytimes.com/athletic/696...
As Phillies’ Bo Bichette pursuit gains momentum, their openness to longer deals could win out
The Phillies, who often wield years as their separator, might be the only team willing to extend to six, seven or eight years for Bichette.

Can confirm Robert Murray’s report that the Reds have added CD JJ Bleday. I like it. Probably not a true CF, but he can play there. Of course depends on the money.

Good stuff from Francona I’ll post later. Basically said he took responsibility for not keeping Elly fresher. Be said the Reds, like 29 other teams, would love Schwarber but didn’t elaborate leaving that to Schwarber. Freddie Benavides spent time with Sal Stewart last week
