Reds Notes: Extensions, Steer, Abbott
Briefly

The Cincinnati Reds are experiencing a youth movement with young talent on their roster. However, they have only secured a long-term extension with right-hander Hunter Greene. General Manager Brad Meador indicates that no further extensions are anticipated this spring, despite ongoing conversations with players. Among those who desire extensions are Nick Martinez, Spencer Steer, and Tyler Stephenson, but no official discussions have taken place for the latter two. Given Stephenson's performance, an extension for him appears more urgent as he is set to become a free agent after the 2026 season.
