We are one day closer to the first game of the spring, which will take place on Sunday against Cleveland. Technically the Cincinnati Reds will be the “road” team in the game, but since the two teams share the ballpark, it’s only a road game in name. While no starter has yet been named, manager David Bell hinted today that it could be right-handed pitcher José De León.
“It looks like, and this could change, it turns out to be José De León’s day, and several guys to follow up with him,” said Bell. “I don’t know for sure if José’s going to start that game, I imagine it’s going to be 2 innings or something like that.
