There are probably four groups of players that report to spring training each year. There are the roster locks, players on the bubble, depth behind the bubble and prospects.

The Reds invited four prospects to their first big-league camp this spring: left-handed pitcher Nick Lodolo, infielder Jonathan India, shortstop Jose Garcia and outfielder Stuart Fairchild. They are all longshots to make the Opening Day roster, but the invitation to camp is their first chance to be exposed to the Major Leagues.
