Reds Rock Buttom! FanGraphs Predicts Last Place Finish in NL Central – A Season of Struggle Ahead?
We wrote about the Reds disappointing PECOTA projections for the 2025 season earlier this week. FanGraphs came out with their projections today and they’re not much better.
They project the Reds to finish last in the National League Central with a 78-84 record, just a one-game improvement from their 77-85 finish last season.
FanGraphs has Cincinnati’s playoff chances at just 17.9%, reflecting skepticism despite several offseason additions.
The Reds bolstered their roster by acquiring Gavin Lux, Brady Singer, Jose Trevino, and Austin Hays, while Nick Martinez returned on a qualifying offer.
FanGraphs projected the Reds to win 79.6 games and gave them a 25.9% chance to make the playoffs on 2024.
