The Cincinnati Reds' Triple-A Minor League affiliate has a new secondary logo. The Louisville Bats made the announcement on Friday. "Introducing our new secondary logo," the Bats wrote on social media.

The Reds travel to Mesa, Arizona on Friday afternoon to take on the Athletics in a spring training matchup. Reds' ace Hunter Greene will start on the mound for the Reds. Neither Elly De La Cruz or Matt McLain are in the starting lineup.

"Pete Rose Night" will be held on Wednesday, May 14, against the Chicago White Sox. All fans in attendance will receive a No. 14 Pete Rose jersey, a replica of the road uniform worn by Pete when the Big Red Machine celebrated its World Series Championships in 1975 in Boston and again in 1976 in New York.

Cincinnati Reds manager Terry Francona might be Pete Rose's strongest supporter in the game, in part because of a personal moment in 1984.

The Reds will honor Pete Rose with a special patch with the No. 14 on the sleeve of their jerseys this season. Hall of Famer Barry Larkin loves Rose and he's happy the Reds are honoring him by wearing the patch on their uniforms.

During Spring Training Media Day in Phoenix, MLB officials provided an explainer session on the automated balls and strikes (ABS) challenge system that every club will be exposed to this spring. The Enquirer detailed the tenets of the ABS challenge system in its current form in a Wednesday report.
