Does Brandon Finnegan still have a role with the Cincinnati Reds?

On paper - which, mind you, doesn’t exactly hold water - the Cincinnati Reds starting rotation largely appears to be set. Barring another major addition or some serious spring training shenanigans, new acquisitions Sonny Gray, Tanner Roark, and Alex Wood should occupy 3/5ths of the rotation come Opening Day, with resident flamethrower Luis Castillo and former would-be Opening Day starter (2x) Anthony DeSclafani expected to round out the group.

Similarly, the bullpen largely appears to have its core defined. Raisel Iglesias put pen to paper on a new, modified contract that will keep him as the anchor, while veterans Jared Hughes and David Hernandez will both be back to flank him in late-inning roles.
