When the Cincinnati Reds acquired Brandon Williamson from the Seattle Mariners four years ago, there was hope that they'd acquired a frontline starter for the future. Some injuries have prevented that from becoming reality, but the 27-year-old southpaw looks fully healthy this spring en route to surprising spot on the Reds Opening Day roster.
Though the primary story surrounding Williamson centers around the six-man rotation the Reds will run out at the beginning of the 2026 season, his inclusion on team's Opening Day roster means that he'll be playing with the same player he was traded for more than four years ago: Euguenio Suárez.
