Latest Fantasy Rumors
Forcing decision from Cincy
La Sorsa plans to exercise the upward-mobility clause in his minor-league contract with the Reds on Sunday, Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis
The left-hander appeared to have a good chance to crack Cincinnati's Opening Day roster after boosting his velocity during the offseason, but he's instead spent the first two months of the 2025 campaign with Triple-A Louisville. La Sorsa's average fastball of 94 mph is up over five mph from last season, though he's had command issues at Triple-A with a 3.92 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 14:14 K:BB across 20.2 innings. Once he exercises the clause, he'll hit free agency if the Reds don't add him to the major-league roster.
