Nick Kirby gives five reasons why Elly De La Cruz should remain the Cincinnati Reds’ shortstop in 2026 — and why the team is making the right decision by keeping him there instead of moving him to the outfield. Nick also breaks down the latest Reds news, including Ke’Bryan Hayes and Spencer Steer being named Gold Glove finalists, third base coach JR House leaving for the Arizona Diamondbacks, Carlos Jorge’s debut in the Dominican Winter League, and updates on Cam Collier, Rhett Lowder, Alfredo Duno, and more from the Arizona Fall League.
