Reds will be stuck with two (maybe three) of their worst offensive problems in 2027

The Cincinnati Reds endured a disastrous 2026 season, ranking last in batting average, on-base percentage, and several other offensive categories while also struggling with pitching and defense. The team's roster construction makes significant changes unlikely this offseason, particularly regarding three of their worst hitters: Matt McLain, Jose Trevino, and Ke'Bryan Hayes. McLain remains under team control for three more seasons at minimal cost, Trevino will likely stay as the primary catcher after Tyler Stephenson enters free agency, and Hayes is locked into a $29 million contract through 2029 that the Reds are unlikely to absorb.
