Gavin Lux

Stewart has reportedly lost over 20 pounds this offseason and is expected to focus primarily on playing first base this spring with defensive stalwart Ke'Bryan Hayes occupying the hot corner in Cincinnati. The 22-year-old power-hitting prospect has a chance to be an immediate four-category impact fantasy producer after slashing a robust .309/.383/.524 with 20 homers and 17 steals in 494 plate appearances between Double-A Dayton and Triple-A Louisville last season. He'll compete with incumbent Spencer Steer for the starting job at first base but there's a clear path to everyday at-bats at DH after the Reds jettisoned Gavin Lux earlier this month. Stewart projects as an immediate 20-homer, 10-steal threat, which makes him an intriguing late-round selection in fantasy drafts this spring. He's a top-20 overall prospect for dynasty purposes.

If Ronny Mauricio is on the move, the Reds should be calling.

The 28-year-old saw most of his action with the Reds in left field or as a designated hitter in 2025 while playing a bit at second base and third base. It sounds like he'll step in as the Rays' regular second baseman, filling the void left by Brandon Lowe. Neander also noted that he's fully confident in what Lux can provide both at the plate and in the field. Even if he's slated for full-time action, it's difficult to envision Lux having much fantasy value in 2026.
