Nick Kirby and Craig Sandlin grade and review Terry Francona’s first season as Cincinnati Reds manager, breaking down the good, the bad, and the ugly from the 2025 Cincinnati Reds season. They discuss what went right, what went wrong, and what Francona and the Reds need to improve heading into the 2026 MLB season. Plus, updates on Cincinnati Reds prospects — including Cam Collier, Rhett Lowder, Alfredo Duno, and more — from the Arizona Fall League. Nick and Craig also react to Game 7 of the ALCS between the Seattle Mariners and Toronto Blue Jays, the Los Angeles Dodgers returning to the World Series, and how the looming MLB Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) expiration after 2026 could impact the league.
