The FanDuel Spots Network (formerly Bally Sports, formerly Fox Sports Ohio, formerly … you get the point) is a one-year stopgap as its parent company, Diamond Sports Group tries to get out of bankruptcy. Evan Drellich has written a lot about this.

Reds shortstop prospect Edwin Arroyo missed all of last season after suffering a shoulder injury during spring training.

The White Sox were working on a deal that would have sent All-Star center fielder to the Reds, but the two sides couldn't come to an agreement, according to The Athletic. The holdup appeared to be how much of Robert's remaining salary the Reds would have taken on in a deal and Cincinnati ended up pivoting to signing Austin Hays in free agency.
