Greg Kuffner, Austin Layton, and Mike Hart break down the Cincinnati Reds’ decision to sign left-hander Andrew Chafin to a minor league deal and what it could mean for the bullpen. They also dive into the gap between Spring Training and regular season performance, using Andrew Abbott as a key example, and react to the Reds’ frustrating lack of offense in Game 1.

To wrap things up, the crew previews the upcoming series against the Boston Red Sox and explores potential platoon strategies that could shape the lineup moving forward.
