    Cincinnati Reds Spring Training 2026: Terry Francona’s “It’s Time” Message, Elly De La Cruz Update, Chase Burns Debut & Rotation Battle

    Nick Kirby breaks down the biggest storylines from Cincinnati Reds Spring Training in Goodyear as Terry Francona sets the tone with a clear message: “It’s time.” Hear the latest from Francona, including his responsibility for managing Elly De La Cruz’s workload in 2026, why Elly won’t play 162 games this season, and how the young superstar is entering camp stronger and more confident. Elly is reportedly up to 217 pounds — nearly 15 pounds heavier than last year — and feeling ready for big expectations. Nick also dives into standout performances from camp, including Chase Burns dominating live BP with three strikeouts and a groundout. Burns discusses major improvements to his fastball and curveball and is set to throw a couple of innings in the Reds’ Spring Training opener against the Cleveland Guardians. The competition for the final rotation spot heats up, while Nick Lodolo shares why he believes the Reds can have one of the best starting rotations in baseball. Plus, updates on Rhett Lowder and Brandon Williamson’s innings management after missing significant time. Matt McLain’s maturity and approach at the plate have impressed Francona, who views him as the ideal No. 2 hitter. Will Benson’s spring is off to a much different start compared to last year. Tyler Callihan is fully cleared and focusing on second base and left field after last season’s injury. Sal Stewart is making noise this spring, working primarily at first and second base while openly chasing NL Rookie of the Year honors. Stewart has been studying first base defense and could see time at multiple infield spots as roster construction takes shape. Nick also covers updates on Edwin Arroyo, who expects more power in 2026 with his shoulder surgery behind him, and Eugenio Suárez’s strong early impression in camp, including praise for Arroyo’s potential. The two could face off in the World Baseball Classic. Plus: Francona’s thoughts on veteran NRI Nathaniel Lowe and roster construction Pierce Johnson on bringing playoff experience to the bullpen TJ Friedl on leading off under Francona Prospect updates, including praise for Rodriguez and Cam Collier What to expect from the Reds’ Spring Training opener and how to watch RedsTV Nick also previews upcoming coverage, including daily recaps after every Spring Training game, live postgame shows, and a full breakdown of how fans can watch RedsTV all season long. If you want comprehensive Cincinnati Reds analysis, roster battles, prospect updates and everything happening in Goodyear, this is your go-to podcast.   OTHER CHATTERBOX PROGRAMING:   Chatterbox Bengals: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/chatterbox-bengals-a-cincinnati-bengals-nfl-podcast/id1652732141  Chatterbox Bearcats: https://chatterboxbearcats.podbean.com/  The Stone Shields Show: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/west-4th-and-long/id1828384424  Off The Bench: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/off-the-bench-by-chatterbox-sports/id1643010062  The Flyin Lion (FC Cincinnati): https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-flyin-lion-fc-cincinnati-podcast/id1701368522  513 Golf: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjPJjEFaBD7VUSfdVvGjbr1_CmCepLWpr    DSC Commodities: https://deepsouthcommodities.com/  CALL OR TEXT 988 FOR HELP DAY OR NIGHT: https://mantherapy.org
