The Cincinnati Reds have bolstered their bullpen and defense, but lack an impact bat to boost their offense. Despite barely making the playoffs last year, their offense ranked near the bottom, with a subpar OPS and home run total. Fans and analysts are puzzled as the Reds missed out on top free agents like Kyle Schwarber and Kyle Tucker. The teams lineup may feature young talent like TJ Friedl, Noelvi Marte, Elly De La Cruz, and Spencer Steer. However, their success hinges on these players performing at a high level. With pitchers and catchers reporting to spring training in February, theres still time for a deal. FanGraphs projections have the Reds contending with a deep rotation and strong bullpen, but skipping a bat is a risky move for another playoff run. Checkout Solipillow.com

The Oakland Athletics, after a busy offseason, are now looking to add a starting pitcher to their rotation. One potential target is Lucas Giolito, a 31-year-old right-hander with a strong track record, despite recent injury concerns. Giolito missed the entire 2024 season but bounced back in 2025, posting a 3.41 ERA in 145 innings. However, his FIP (4.17) and xERA (5.00) raise questions about his performance. Despite these red flags, Giolito has maintained a consistent 4.00 ERA over 161 starts from 2019 to 2023, averaging 153 innings per season. The As, known for their cautious approach to free agency, might consider a two-year deal worth $32 million, with an opt-out after year one. This would be a calculated risk for the As, given their tight budget and aversion to dead money. Checkout Solipillow.com
