## Resource

Cincinnati Reds bullpen issues hit a boiling point as Emilio Pagán blows another save, sparking calls for a major shakeup. Is Tony Santillan ready to anchor the closer role, or will the Reds’ relievers continue to unravel their playoff hopes? Steven Offenbaker spotlights Chase Petty’s promising emergency start, the looming returns of Nick Lodolo and Caleb Ferguson, and why Andrew Abbott must deliver a shutdown outing to rescue the beleaguered pitching staff. The Reds’ outfield situation remains a glaring weakness, despite power surges from JJ Bleday and a shakeup that saw Blake Dunn replace Rece Hinds. With Will Benson’s struggles mounting and trade rumors swirling, will Nick Krall pull the trigger on a much-needed upgrade? Plus, Elly De La Cruz’s breakout at shortstop and Sal Stewart’s case for NL Rookie of the Year provide bright spots amid the NL Central dogfight. Can Terry Francona unlock this roster’s full potential before it’s too late? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
