Elly De La Cruz just will not stop being awesome through the Cincinnati Reds minor leagues. He has had a phenomenal year and deserves Baseball America's award of Reds Minor League Player of the Year. Jeff discusses his potential and the Reds potential plan for him next year. The Reds have two games against the Boston Red Sox beginning tonight and Nick Lodolo is on the mound. Lodolo has a tall task in facing Xander Bogaerts, Rafael Devers, and JD Martinez, but he is up for it. On the flip side, the Red Sox have Brayan Bello who is a young and talented pitcher that is not to be trifled with. Also, how have Jay Allen, Chase Petty, Connor Phillips, Matt McLain, and Brandon Williamson fared this year in the Reds farm system?
