Cincinnati Reds LINEUP TRANSFORMS With Sal Stewart Protecting Elly De La Cruz

Cincinnati Reds’ TEAM MVP race heats up as Sal Stewart powers the lineup, fueling Elly De La Cruz’s surge at the top of the order. Can Stewart’s clutch bat and league-leading RBI total carry the Reds through the September gauntlet, or will De La Cruz’s evolution into an elite leadoff hitter shift the balance? Jeff and Steve break down key players’ outlooks, from Tyler Stephenson’s late-season resurgence to the impact of Dane Myers for an outfield of opportunity at Great American Ballpark.   On the mound, Chase Burns is the Reds’ ace, anchoring a rotation riddled with health concerns for Nick Lodolo and Hunter Greene. The bullpen spotlight shifts to Brock Burke’s workload and TJ Antone’s remarkable comeback, raising questions about who truly deserves the Reliever of the Year title. Plus, bold predictions for Reds team awards set the stage for a dramatic finish to the season.   Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…   Everydayer Club   If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
