MLB Draft 2025

[*ochocincos*]

I may lean toward pitching if Reds aren't wanting to go for an OF.
While Reds have Burns and Lowder ready to perform at MLB level now, here are the remaining years before each of the current rotation becomes a Free Agent.

Greene - FA in 2030 (4 more years under contract)
Lodolo - FA in 2028 (2 more years under contract)
Abbott - FA in 2030 (4 more years under contract)
Singer - FA in 2027 (1 more year under contract)
Martinez - FA next year

Burns and Lowder will take over for Martinez and Singer, but especially if they take a HS pitcher, they'll be a few years away, so they could be coming up right as Greene and Abbott are about to hit FA and Reds aren't willing/able to pay their market value that other teams would.

But as for Ike Irish that was mentioned, I'm seeing mocks just from this last week that are putting him around the 8-12 range, so right where the Reds will be picking.
MLB.com has Irish listed as their 11th prospect now, forecasting him best for RF and utilizing his great hitting ability.
Irish is also likely someone who can come to the bigs within a year or two.
We should know by then too whether Rece Hinds is worth a damn.
