The 2022 Cincinnati Reds season was the 153rd season for the franchise in Major League Baseball, and their 20th at Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati.
On December 2, 2021, Commissioner of Baseball Rob Manfred announced a lockout of players, following expiration of the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) between the league and the Major League Baseball Players Association (MLBPA). On March 10, 2022, MLB and the MLBPA agreed to a new collective bargaining agreement, thus ending the lockout. Opening Day was played on April 7.[1] Although MLB previously announced that several series would be cancelled due to the lockout, the agreement provides for a 162-game season, with originally canceled games to be made up via doubleheaders.[2]
The Reds finished the season 62–100, tied for fourth in the National League Central. It was their first 100-loss season since 1982 and their 2nd in franchise history. The 2022 season was only the 3rd time since 1890 that the Reds opened the season on the road (following the 1966 and 1990 seasons).
Offseason
Lockout
The expiration of the league's collective bargaining agreement (CBA) with the Major League Baseball Players Association occurred on December 1, 2021 with no new agreement in place.[3] As a result, the team owners voted unanimously to lockout the players stopping all free agency and trades.[4][5]
The parties came to an agreement on a new CBA on March 10, 2022.[6]
Rule changes
Pursuant to the new CBA, several new rules were instituted for the 2022 season. The National League will adopt the designated hitter full-time, a draft lottery will be implemented, the postseason will expand from ten teams to twelve, and advertising patches will appear on player uniforms and helmets for the first time.[7][8]
Transactions
After the lockout, the Reds went on a fire sale. The Reds let their outfielder Nick Castellanos sign with the Philadelphia Phillies[9][10] and placed starting pitcher Wade Miley on waivers and was picked up by the Chicago Cubs.[11] The Reds also traded many players during this. The Reds traded pitcher Amir Garrett to the Kansas City Royals,[12] starting pitcher Sonny Gray to the Minnesota Twins,[13] catcher Tucker Barnhart to the Detroit Tigers,[14] and both infielder Eugenio Suárez and outfielder Jesse Winker to the Seattle Mariners.[15] Reds owner Bob Castellini was criticized for this and Reds fans protested and asked him to sell the team.[16][17] Phil Castellini, Reds president/chief operating officer and the owner's son, fanned the flames of fan resentment when he responded in a WLW interview prior to the team's April 12 home opener, "Well, where are you gonna go? Let’s start there. Sell the team to who?...What would you do with this team to have it be more profitable, make more money and compete more in the current economic system that this game exists? It would be to pick it up and move it somewhere else." He also told Reds fans "be careful what you ask for."[18]
Regular season
The start of the season
The Reds' 2022 started off historically bad. Through the first 25 games, the Reds won only 3 games. They tie with the 2003 Detroit Tigers as the worst start to a season through 25 games at 3–22 behind the 1988 Baltimore Orioles who started 2–23 including a 0–21 start.[19]
