Reds News: Sal Stewart's rare feat, Draft Lottery odds, social media backlash

Reds first baseman Sal Stewart became only the eighth rookie in MLB history to play all 162 games in a single season, joining seven other players league-wide who accomplished the feat this year. Stewart's durability achievement comes despite a weak September performance, though he still remains the favorite to win the 2026 NL Rookie of the Year award over Mets outfielder Carson Benge. The Reds hold a 6.4% chance at the top pick in next year's draft lottery, with the Rockies, Angels, and Athletics each holding the best odds at 19.1%. Following the disappointing season, the team's social media thank you post drew negative fan responses expressing frustration with the organization's front office and ownership.
