GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- The rules say teams must have a 25-man roster set ahead of Opening Day. Of course, changes can, and will, be made to the roster during the remaining 161 games but that doesn't lessen the time, attention and intrigue that ensues regarding who will occupy those precious final spots when Spring Training ends.
For the final week of camp, the Reds still have to make 19 cuts to get to 25 players and figure out the final spots on the bench and in the bullpen.
"I think it's something that's really going to be one of those down-to-the-wire events," Reds manager Bryan Price said on Saturday morning.
