The Cincinnati Reds made strategic roster moves on November 5th, declining options on pitchers Scott Barlow and Brent Suter, and outfielder Austin Hays. Barlow's relief role and Hays' struggles against right-handed pitching led to the decision, freeing up $18 million for the team to pursue impactful free agents. Suter's three-million-dollar option was also declined, but the Reds may still aim to re-sign him to a smaller deal due to his positive clubhouse presence. These moves provide the Reds with greater financial flexibility and the chance to strengthen their team for the upcoming season.
