Tyler Stephenson is the most important Cincinnati Reds player for next season. Jeff and Steve take a look at how he entered 2022 with expectations and how he even rose past those expectations, when he was healthy. It is key for the Reds to make sure Stephenson is healthy next year, how can they do this? They must split Stephenson's playing time between catcher, first base, and designated hitter. The only way the Reds can accomplish that for Stephenson is if they sign a catcher they can trust.
