The Reds will lose familiar faces in 2027, some of the longest tenured and biggest names. These are the 5 Reds who won't be back: TJ Friedl, Pierce Johnson, Eugenio Suárez, Brock Burke, and Tyler Stephenson.We ranked them live and took fan votes in the comments, and added one fan-voted player at the end.The Reds will lose familiar faces in 2027, some of the longest tenured and biggest names.All comments during the live episode show behind the host on set! TJ Friedl is a minor-league free agent. He has history and character with the Reds, but he could show those things somewhere else and come back later.Pierce Johnson was fine but nothing more.Eugenio Suárez brought power the Reds did not need. The reunion was nice, but it was one of those where you are happy you saw your ex and you want her to be happy, and you also know you broke up for a reason. Brock Burke may have priced himself out of a return, but he is worth watching in the scramble right after the lockout. Tyler Stephenson could come back on a short-term deal if the lockout creates a mad scramble. Familiarity matters for a catcher.Longtime Reds beat writer C.

Is this Elly De La Cruz’s last game as a Red? September 27 in Toronto.Elly was the DH, went 1-for-4 with two strikeouts, and the Reds lost 5-1.Could that may be the last box score he ever has as a Red?The CBA expires December 1. A lockout is expected - and trades freeze during lockouts.If the lockout eats all of 2027, the first time the Reds can trade him is next winter, with two years of control left.The last team in this spot was Washington with Juan Soto. They traded him with 2½ years left. The team that got him traded him again with one year left.That’s the Soto plan. And the Reds are lined up to run it next.Longtime Reds beat writer C.

In spring training of 2025, the Reds offered Elly De La Cruz a deal that would have made him the highest-paid player in franchise history.He turned it down. Joey Votto’s record was 10 years and $225 million in 2012. In 2026 dollars, that deal is about $328 million. He then had the best season of his career on a last-place team. .283/.365/.515, 30 home runs, 30 steals, 30 doubles.He is the fourth Red to go 30-30, after Eric Davis, Barry Larkin, and Brandon Phillips.
