The Dayton Business Journal reports that the Cincinnati Reds are coming to Dayton on April 4 — two days before the opening day of the season. The Reds will play a special exhibition game on April 4 at the Dragons’ field in which the opposing team will consist of the best of the Red’s minor league players.
The Journal says, “The Reds will take the field against a team consisting of their best minor league prospects currently playing at the Triple-A Louisville Bats, Double-A Carolina Mudcats, Advanced Single-A Sarasota Reds, Single-A Dayton Dragons and Rookie class Billings Mustangs. The Reds roster also includes 2008 Gold Glove second baseman Brandon Phillips, all-star pitchers Bronson Arroyo and Francisco Cordero, and all-star shortstop Alex Gonzalez.”
