The Cincinnati Reds have seen plenty of Tyler O’Neill. For parts of six seasons he and his biceps patrolled the outfield for the St. Louis Cardinals, his bat helping fuel a trio of 90+ win seasons for the Cincinnati’s National League Central foes as well as a pair of division titles.
O’Neill was flipped to the Boston Red Sox last winter for his final year of arbitration eligibility, St. Louis seemingly having grown frustrated with his inability to stay on the field throughout the 2022-2023 seasons (just 649 total PA) and his underperformance (just a .707 OPS) in that span.
