Despite missing out on free agent Kyle Schwarber, the Cincinnati Reds are aiming for competitiveness in the National League Central for 2026. They recently signed right-handed reliever Pierce Johnson, a solid addition to their bullpen after a decent 2025 season with a 3.05 ERA. The Reds’ bullpen ranked 14th in ERA last year, and manager Terry Francona may use Johnson as a setup man for closer Emilio Pagan. Johnson’s experience in late innings could help enhance the Reds’ overall performance.
