Reds Players Make One Thing Perfectly Clear During Redsfest Confidence is important.

Sal Stewart - Focus on first base Stewart spent the winter getting into better shape, having lost 20+ pounds, and working on his defense at first base, Charlie Goldsmith of The Dayton Daily News reports.

Impact After the Reds traded for Ke'Bryan Hayes, Stewart had to learn first base on the fly last season. He'll enter this season more comfortable at the position, and presumably has the inside track to play there more regularly in 2026. The Reds still have to find a way to balance both Stewart and Spencer Steer in the lineup at the same time, but that can be accomplished with one of them at DH and the other at first base if need be.

Elly De La Cruz - Not playing in WBC The Reds did not give De La Cruz permission to the play in the World Baseball Classic, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

Impact De La Cruz wanted to participate in the WBC and represent the Dominican Republic but acknowledged a quad injury that appeared to limit him over the second half of the season. The shortstop, who played in all 162 games including 157 in the field, experienced a second-half dip in 2025 after an All-Star-worthy first half. Reds manager Terry Francona acknowledged the need to find ways to keep De La Cruz fresh. To that end, trading Gavin Lux opens up designated hitter for positional starters to get breaks from playing the field, per Rosencrans.

Matt McLain - Adds 12 pounds over offseason McLain has added 12 pounds of muscle over the offseason, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.

Impact After rehabbing injuries each of the last two offseasons, McLain has been able to focus on training this winter and said he feels like he's getting a "fresh start" heading into the 2026 season. The second baseman slashed a disappointing .220/.300/.343 over 147 regular-season contests in 2025, but he has some bounce-back potential heading into his age-26 campaign.
