Who are the starters this season ?
https://www.mlb.com/reds/news/reds-rotation-options-for-2024
I'd guess barring injury of course, the locks are:
1. Greene - Big $$$ long term contract. They are banking on him.
2. Ashcraft - Had the big dip in production last season but overall he was one of better pieces in rotation last season.
3. Abbott - Came out last season on fire !! Then ran out of steam late. But I'd say he has a spot barring something major.
Here's where it starts getting a bit murky.
I'd assume they're planning on Montas stepping right into starting rotation. And if that falters they have options. So that makes four, who's five ?
I'm going to say Lodolo. That gives us two lefties in rotation and last season like first four games he was our best pitcher.
That leaves for the bullpen/minors:
Martinez, Phillips, Williamson, Richardson, and another one not mentioned is Chase Petty. I'm feeling a good bit better about the Reds ability to have a starting pitching staff able to last into September this season.
