| 5/27/25 | Santiago Espinal Is an Unconventional No. 2 in the Reds Lineup. During the winter, Cincinnati Reds manager Terry Francona was discussing the team's roster with President of Baseball Operations Nick Krall and General Manager Brad Meador, both of whom raved about utility player Santiago Espinal. “You're going to want to find ways to get him in the lineup,” they told Francona. Francona's first year in the Cincinnati dugout been full of subtle changes as he puts his stamp on this team.
