About this listen

Cincinnati Reds shortstop Elly De La Cruz turned down what was classified as the largest contract in Cincinnati Reds history in spring of 2025, The Athletic’s C. Trent Rosecrans reported this past weekend. Rosecrans and Riverfront Territory co-host Danny Graves both believe the Reds were right to offer De La Cruz such a big payday and De La Cruz was right to turn it down.

De La Cruz said Friday that he lets his agent, Scott Boras, take care of contract talks.

We talk not just about De La Cruz’s contract situation, but also his potential to be even better.
