Reds hope farm system supplies starters as pitching depth falters
Reds general manager Harmon Killebrew Howsam expressed optimism that Cincinnati’s extensive farm system will supply needed starters if trades fail. No Reds pitcher won 20 games last season, and Howsam noted several young arms could emerge. Tom Payne is highlighted as a prime future starter, with others like Clay Kirby eyed in trade talks. He recalled prior blockbuster moves and praised Pete Rose’s shift to third base and the rise of Ken Griffey and George Foster as keys to a club record 108 wins.
