  • Dayton Dragons 2020 Team Prospectus
    Dayton Dragons 2020 Team Prospectus by Tom Nichols Dragons Director of Broadcasting/Media Relations 1 This preview includes players who are expected to be candidates for positions on the 25-man roster of the Dayton Dragons and is an unofficial projection. Minor League rosters are not established until April 5. Spring training variables including performance, injuries, trades, and additional player acquisitions will impact the roster accordingly. The Reds list 163 minor league players in camp, but the number of players competing for jobs is actually larger. There are 60 players in big league camp with the Reds, and with only 26 roster spots available in Cincinnati, many of those 60 will eventually be assigned back to minor league camp. In effect, the Reds have 223 players in Arizona competing for 126 jobs. There are four Reds farm clubs that open their seasons on April 9, and each team has 25 roster spots, along with 26 players that make the big league roster. The competition will be fierce. Minor League rosters will change almost daily throughout the spring. As the Reds trim their Major League spring roster, it will create a domino effect with the Minor League rosters. For example, when a player is sent down from big league camp and assigned to the Triple-A Louisville Bats spring roster, a player from the Louisville team will be sent to Double-A Chattanooga, and so on. The Dayton roster will not be set until the end of spring training. The Dragons will open the Midwest League season on Thursday, April 9th against the Great Lakes Loons at 7:00 p.m.
