It isn't just the Cincinnati Reds' rotation depth that has prompted trade rumors surrounding Brady Singer; it's also the impressive collection of young starters making their way through the system.
Fireballer Chase Burns looks poised to fill the void left by Zack Littell's inevitable free-agent departure. The Reds will also be dusting off injured arms Brandon Williamson and Julian Aguiar at some point in 2026, and also have former first-round pick Rhett Lowder waiting in the wings.
One of those young pitcher, however, has seen his future in the rotation become rather murky. Chase Petty got a brief look in 2025, and it did not go well.
