The Cincinnati Reds' rotation is set coming out of the All-Star break, and the pitchers involved have their marching orders.

The Rockies go on vacation carrying the baggage of a 22-74 record. Colorado’s 74 losses before the All-Star break are the most since 1933, the year of the first All-Star Game. Colorado surpassed the 2024 White Sox, who were 27-71 at the break.

For nearly two full games, the Reds seemingly had their hands full with the Rockies, despite their opponent owning baseball's worst record. The push to win manager Terry Francona wanted to see going into the All-Star break looked elusive at best.

"There's so much less certainty of the grouping near the top," said Reds director of amateur scouting, Joe Katuska said.

The Miami Marlins are expected to trade their ace, Sandy Alcántara, this season, but there's a potential scenario where they hold onto him.

There were eight games across the Reds' Minor Leagues on Saturday. Here is how each of their top prospects performed: Blake Dunn went 1-3 with a walk. Fancisco Urbaez went 0-3 with a walk. Rece Hinds went 1-3 with a double and a walk. Zack Maxwell struck out four in one inning.

Rocks upset the Reds 3-2. Down -191 clubberlangs. The one and only Stitches has been handicapping baseball, daily, for the Post since 2019. Miraculously, he has finished in the black twice. But wait there’s more. He showed his versatility by winning the Post’s NFL Best Bet crown last year.

As the Cincinnati Reds try to claw back into the playoffs, and with the Cleveland Guardians' tumble, they should consider trading for their All-Star outfielder.
