Cincinnati Teams Overhaul Rosters and Front Offices

The Cincinnati Reds are expected to be active buyers at the MLB trade deadline, targeting upgrades for their outfield and bullpen, with possible interest in reliever Kyle Finnegan as they pursue a wild card spot. Meanwhile, the Cincinnati Bengals have restructured their front office by promoting Steven Radicevic, Mike Potts, and Trey Brown to assistant general manager roles under Duke Tobin and have strengthened their scouting department with new hires and promotions. The Bengals have also signed quarterback Desmond Ridder and are reportedly considering adding tight end Noah Fant to bolster offensive depth behind starter Mike Gesicki. Additionally, the team hired Lindsay Langford as a full-time sports dietitian to address nutrition and dining issues cited in the NFLPA report card. These moves by both the Reds and Bengals reflect a strategic effort to address weaknesses and enhance competitiveness for the upcoming seasons.
