Cincinnati Reds: Five players most likely to snag 26th spot on the roster

The 2020 season will offer a new opportunity for several players throughout Major League Baseball. The league has expanded the active roster from 25 to 26 with a likely cap on only 13 pitchers. The Cincinnati Reds have an excessive amount of talented players on this year’s roster. So, who’s most likely to snag that extra roster spot?

According to MLB.com, the number of pitchers limited to the 26-man roster has yet to be determined, but it is assumed that the number of hurlers will be capped at 13. Since David Bell and his staff carried 13 pitchers on the roster during the majority of last season, that 26th spot will likely fall to a position player.
