CINCINNATI — Will the Reds tender Ty France for the 2025 campaign?

MLB Trade Rumors thinks the answer is a simple one.

"It’s an easy call to move on from Ty France in lieu of a salary pushing $9MM," Anthony Franco wrote.

The Reds traded for France in July. He posted a .251/.292/.391 slash line with five home runs and 20 hits in 52 games. Opening up another $8-9 million in salary could give Cincinnati extra flexibility in their quest to put a championship caliber roster.

Of course, this is a projection and nothing is official. The Reds could still keep France next season. Check out the Reds' entire offseason outlook from MLB Trade Rumors here.
