Reds Take Flyer on Michael Toglia After Rockies Non-Tender

Cincinnati signed first baseman Michael Toglia to a minor league deal after Colorado non-tendered him in November. The 27-year-old hit 25 homers in 116 games in 2024 with an 11.8% walk rate, but his strikeouts spiked early in 2025 (39.1% in two months), leading to a demotion and shuttle role. He still brings loud power: 98th-percentile barrel rate, 94th hard-hit rate in 2024.
