Fay: Predicting the Cincinnati Reds' Opening Day roster

GOODYEAR, Ariz. — The Reds first full-squad workout is Monday. So it’s high time I make a fearless prediction on the roster they take northeast for Opening Day.

I’m guessing I can guess 23 of 25. That’s not to say I’m a great prognosticator. That’s to say the roster is pretty set — exceptionally set for a team coming off a 94-loss season. But the Reds have decided to stay the course with the rebuild, thus only a few free agents are in the mix.

Here goes with my forecast:

The Rotation

RH Homer Bailey

RH Anthony DeSclafani

RH Luis Castillo

LH Brandon Finnegan

RH Sal Romano

The first three spots are set as long as they get through spring training healthy.
