Another clutch moment shows why the Reds must secure catcher Tyler Stephenson now—not later. • His bat is carrying the position: .273 AVG, .346 OBP, .450 SLG over a long stretch • Catcher value isn’t just defense—his production is the difference in close games • The argument isn’t “best ever,” it’s “worthy of multiple more years” in Cincinnati • The real issue: trust is gone with the front office and his agent relationship has broken down • If the Reds wait, they risk losing a proven impact player to the market Do you think the Reds should prioritize a long-term extension this offseason? #CincinnatiReds #MLB #LockedOnReds
