BREAKING: TJ Friedl is gone.

The Reds designated him for assignment on September 20, outrighted him to Louisville on September 22, and on September 29 he refused the assignment and elected free agency.

He hit .172 with a .255 on-base and a .255 slugging in 91 games. Four home runs. Thirteen RBI. Will Benson refused his own assignment on October 3. The outfield those two left behind had a .660 OPS, the worst in baseball.

Mason Estep of Reds Daily breaks down and explains why the Reds let TJ Friedl walk, his legacy as a Cincinnati Red, and what fans can anticipate for the Reds outfield in 2027.

The Reds Just Let TJ Friedl Walk

Phil Castellini sat down on Thursday and said the goal is still championship baseball. Period.

That is the same promise this ownership group made in 2006. Since then the Reds are 1,572-1,728, with two division titles, three wild cards, and zero World Series. They have not won a postseason series since 1995, the longest drought in baseball. This season opened with playoff hopes and ended 75-87, last in the National League Central.

He also said Nick Krall and Brad Meador will have final say on baseball matters. Then he said he would not call that a dynamic change. The strategy is still to grow their own. The farm system was just ranked 28th. Derek Johnson is the one coach confirmed out. Ownership ordered Eugenio Suárez over Nick Martinez last winter. Martinez had the best year of his career in Tampa Bay.

He said the team is not for sale. He said the franchise can compete the way other teams have with fewer resources. He would not put a number on it.

Phil Castellini Just Promised Championship Baseball, Again.

The 2026 Cincinnati Reds season is over.

Cincinnati finished 75-87 and last in the National League Central, one year after winning a wild-card spot at 83-79. Sunday’s finale was a 5-1 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays. The Milwaukee Brewers, the team Bob Castellini asked his own staff to explain, won 103 games.

Elly De La Cruz joined the 30-30 club. Chase Burns gave the rotation a real ace. The lineup hit home runs and still barely scored. The defense finished last in Defensive Runs Saved. Hunter Greene and Nick Lodolo missed time. The bullpen collapsed. Ownership says Nick Krall and Brad Meador are coming back.

So what was 2026?

A one-year blip after a playoff team? Proof the Reds cannot hold a good season? Or the same movie with new names?

C. Trent Rosecrans of the Athletic and Mason Estep of Reds Daily wrap the year after the final out and look at what has to change before 2027.
