On today's show, we discuss the Reds' first exhibition game vs. the Guardians tomorrow and Hunter Greene's comments to Fox19's Jeremy Rauch. Plus, we roll through some more Bengals free agent targets from The Athletic, react to Mick Cronin's viral remarks and the Miami RedHawks looking to stay undefeated tonight vs. Bowling Green.

Tomorrow, the Cincinnati Reds will kick off their 2026 spring training schedule with a Grapefruit League matchup against the Cleveland Guardians in Goodyear, Arizona. First pitch is set for 3:05 p.m. ET on Saturday, February 21 — marking the first live action of the preseason for both clubs.

This game is notable not just as an early test of pitching and lineup depth, but also because it inaugurates Reds TV, the team’s new streaming service. That platform will carry this opener (in addition to several other spring contests), giving fans a preview of new faces and returning veterans before Opening Day.

For the Guardians, spring training has also begun under interesting circumstances, as some pitchers have been dealing with legal issues off the field — most prominently the federal charges against Emmanuel Clase and Luis Ortiz related to a pitch-rigging case that’s drawing attention as camp starts (though neither is currently active in camp).

On the Reds’ side, all eyes will also be on Hunter Greene, the team’s ace, who has recently made headlines with strong comments about media narratives over the offseason. Greene expressed frustration with certain trade rumors and suggestions about his commitment or character, flatly rejecting what he called “defamation of character.” He said that false narratives — particularly ones questioning his professionalism or decisions about injury returns — crossed a line, and that people close to him know who he really is. That sentiment has underscored his desire to stay in Cincinnati and focus on performance, despite the chatter.

Tomorrow’s game won’t count in the standings, but it will set an early tone for both clubs as they refine rotations, evaluate prospects, and begin their march toward the 2026 regular season.
