The Cincinnati Reds have a good bank of prospects and young players in their hands. This ensures that hope is back in town – not least thanks to Elly De La Cruz.
There are more difficult moments at the moment, but with a young club, that’s normal.
But the Reds are not done yet. According to what circulates, the club proceeded to the recall of Noelvi Marte, a big hope of the formation.
He is one of the other big young players to earn a recall this season.
Remember that Marte was acquired by the Reds last year. It was when the Mariners uprooted Luis Castillo from Ohio at the trade deadline.
Much like De La Cruz, Matt McLain, Spencer Steer and Christian Encarnacion-Strand, these are youngsters who play third base or shortstop. There are people at mass, therefore.
Even if Marte plays every game by the end of the season, he won’t be able to lose his Rookie of the Year eligibility in 2024.
And with the new regulations, it could give the Reds a draft pick should they win the title next year.
This is in particular what explains the recalls of Nolan Schanuel (Angels) and Masyn Winn (Cardinals) in the last days through the MLB.
The young Marte is excellent. Can he energize the Cincinnati club? I have a feeling yes, me.
