Cincinnati Reds Roster Moves: Santiago Espinal & Ian Gibaut REMOVED From 40 Man Roster

Nick Kirby and Craig Sandlin break down the latest Cincinnati Reds roster moves and what they mean for the offseason ahead. They discuss Santiago Espinal being optioned and removed from the 40-man roster — a move that likely signals the end of his time in Cincinnati. The guys look back on Espinal’s two seasons with the Reds, Terry Francona’s use of him, and the highlights of his tenure.

They also dive into Ian Gibaut electing free agency after being optioned, analyzing how his departure impacts the bullpen picture heading into the offseason. Nick and Craig assess who’s in, who’s out, and the key questions the Reds face as they rebuild their relief corps.

Plus, they share updates on Leo Balcazar, Cam Collier, Alfredo Duno, and other Reds prospects shining in the Arizona Fall League — and finish with a full rundown of the upcoming MLB offseason calendar.
