C Reds Opening Day starter Hunter Greene and fourth starter Brady Singer both looked strong in final spring tuneups Friday.

Reds shortstop Edwin Arroyo reached base three times, with a walk, a hit by pitch, and a stand-up triple to right-center off a 95-mph fastball, all of which came when he was batting right-handed, before he struck out on a changeup in his last trip to the plate. He took good at-bats all day long — and it was a long day.

Last time we saw the Chicago White Sox, they were putting the finishing touches on an MLB record 121-loss 2024 season. Since then, they have traded away their best player -- ace Garrett Crochet -- in a winter move and added, well, not a whole lot in free agency.

The 2-1 loss is the sixth time in the past nine games that the Angels have been held to two runs or fewer. “If we can’t put runs on the board we’re in trouble,” Manager Ron Washington says.

Prospect hype continues to dwindle, as the Chicago White Sox are one week away from Opening Day and roster cuts are well underway. Although the Sox have MLB’s sixth-best farm system, it appears that general manager Chris Getz and manager Will Venable are opting towards filling the roster with established MLB players.
