Pierce Johnson - Lands with Cincinnati Johnson agreed to a contract with the Reds on Sunday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

Impact The term of the deal isn't clear, but it's likely to be less than Pierce's $7 million club option that was declined by Atlanta in November. Johnson recorded one save and 16 holds with a 3.05 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 59:19 K:BB across 65 innings for Atlanta last year.

Michael Toglia - Lands with Reds on MiLB deal Cincinnati signed Toglia on Wednesday, per the MLB transactions page.

Impact Toglia looked to be a key part of Colorado's future when he posted a .767 OPS with 25 home runs, 55 RBI and 10 stolen bases over 457 plate appearances for the big-league club in 2024, but the 2019 first-round draft pick dropped off dramatically last year, slashing just .190/.258/.353 with 11 long balls, 32 RBI and three steals across 337 plate appearances. He's always demonstrated plenty of power and went deep 11 times over 42 contests for Triple-A Albuquerque last year, but Toglia has also struggled making a contact, and he posted an awful 39.2 percent strikeout rate with the Rockies in 2025. That was a large part of the reason why Colorado DFA'd and subsequently non-tendered him in November. However, the Reds will give him a chance to make an impression, though Toglia will likely open the season in the minors unless he puts up a big performance during spring training.

Garrett Hampson - Inks minors deal with Cincinnati The Reds signed Hampson to a minor-league contract Dec. 29.

Impact The Reds were one of three teams that Hampson spent time with in the majors in 2025, though he managed just a .419 OPS over 62 games between the three stops. The 31-year-old Hampson will likely begin the 2026 season at Triple-A Louisville, where he will give the Reds utility depth.

Matt McLain - Avoids arbitration McLain agreed to a one-year, $2.3 million contract with the Reds on Thursday to avoid arbitration, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact McLain missed the entire 2024 season while recovering from shoulder and rib injuries, but he was healthy for the start of the season. He started strong with three home runs and five RBI through the first four games, though that momentum was halted after he landed on the IL due to a hamstring strain. That turned out to be his only stint on the IL in 2025, and he finished the regular season with a .643 OPS with 15 home runs, 50 RBI, 18 stolen bases and 73 runs over 577 plate appearances while appearing in 147 games. With a full season under his belt, McLain will enter the 2026 campaign as the projected everday second baseman for the Reds.

Nick Lodolo - Avoids arbitration with Cincinnati Lodolo signed a one-year, $4.725 million contract with the Reds on Thursday to avoid arbitration, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

Impact Lodolo spent the majority of 2025 in the Reds' rotation before being moved to the bullpen late in the the regular season and during Cincinnati's brief NL playoff run. He ended the regular season with a 9-8 record (over a career-high 28 starts) while posting a 3.33 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 156:31 K:BB across 156.2 innings. Lodolo has seen his ERA and WHIP numbers steadily improve over the past three seasons, and his 4.8 percent walk rate was among the best in the majors in 2025.

JANUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Tony Santillan - Avoids arbitration Santillan agreed to a one-year, $1.8 million contract with the Reds on Thursday to avoid arbitration, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

Impact Santillan set a new career high by pitching 73.2 innings in 2025 and did so while remaining as effective as ever, finishing the regular season with a 2.44 ERA and 1.11 WHIP to go with seven saves and 33 holds. Emilio Pagan isn't likely to let go of his grip on the closer role anytime soon, so Santillan will continue to work as Cincinnati's premier setup man in 2026.

Brady Singer - Secures $12.75 million from Reds Singer agreed to a one-year, $12.75 million contract with the Reds on Thursday to avoid arbitration, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

Impact Singer finished his first year in Cincinnati with a 4.03 ERA and 1.24 WHIP alongside a 163:60 K:BB across 169.2 regular-season innings, and he'll now be rewarded in the form of a $4 million salary increase. He'll presumably claim a spot in the back end of the Reds' rotation to begin 2026 and is slated to become a free agent after the end of the season.
