Reds fans should brace for a difficult prospect decision down the road

As we endlessly wring our hands trying to come up with ways that the Cincinnati Reds can add some much- needed thump to the 2026 lineup, it feels weird to think that there might come a time in the near future when they have too much of a good thing.

Reds fans are eagerly awaiting the chance to see what Sal Stewart can do over a full season, even if the rest of the league forgot how impressive his .255/.293/.545 line was during his September call-up.

The young corner infielder is the Reds' top prospect, and already finds himself in the midst of a logjam with Ke'Bryan Hayes' defensive wizardry making him a lock at the hot corner and Spencer Steer vying for reps at first.
