The final spring training game takes place one week from today. The Cincinnati Reds will host the Seattle Mariners that afternoon and then they’re heading to Cincinnati to get ready for Opening Day on April 1st against the St. Louis Cardinals. Yesterday the organization made another round of cuts, trimming the roster down to 43 players, 21 of which are pitchers.
There are eight pitchers that seem like they are locks for the Opening Day roster right now. Injuries could change that. Players that would make the roster if we were certain that they were ready to go, but aren’t accounted for in that number include Tejay Antone (groin), Michael Lorenzen (shoulder), and Sonny Gray (back).
