Dominic Smith Elects Free Agency
Briefly

Dominic Smith, after being designated for assignment by the Reds, elected to become a free agent, seeking better opportunities despite postseason ineligibility.
Smith's brief stint with the Reds saw him batting a mere .192 in limited appearances, emphasizing the challenges he's faced since his promising early career.
Once a top prospect and first-round pick, Smith has struggled to reclaim his previous success after injuries stunted his development over the last few seasons.
Having spent the bulk of the 2024 season with the Red Sox, Smith showed some improvement but remained below average offensively, further complicating his career trajectory.
