GOODYEAR, Arizona – The Cincinnati Reds, like every Major League Baseball team, haven't had a typical spring training since 2019.
In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic stopped spring training in the middle of March. In 2021, the pandemic had a lingering impact on workouts and how many players reported to camp.
This year, MLB spring training has been delayed due to the ongoing lockout. As the MLB owners and the MLB Players Association negotiate the terms of the league’s collective bargaining agreement, the start of MLB spring training has been delayed.
As a result, every player on the Reds' 40-man roster currently isn’t able to work out at the team’s spring training complex.
