Alexis Diaz, CIN Diaz has struggled mightily this spring, allowing 5 ER's in 2.1 IP with 5 BB's, 1 HBP and just 1 K across his 3 appearances. It was almost a given heading into spring training that Diaz would be the Reds closer in 2025, but that is very much in question right now, and there's even a possibility that he opens the season in the minors.
