The Cincinnati Reds bullpen was thought to be a strength of this year’s team. However, the team’s best reliever was a question mark to even make the team out of Spring Training. Robert Stephenson‘s ascension has been completely unexpected and the former first round pick is the Reds best arm in the bullpen so far this season.
As the 2019 Spring Training was coming to the close there was one more spot to fill out the Cincinnati Reds’ roster. Either Matt Wisler, who was acquired from the Atlanta Braves in 2018, or long time Reds’ prospect Robert Stephenson would make the cut.
