Three members of the 2024 Dayton Dragons and six other former Dragons from previous years are on the list of minor league players invited to participate in Major League spring training with the Reds. Infielders Cam Collier and Sal Stewart along with outfielder Hector Rodriguez, all key members of the 2024 Dragons playoff club, are non-roster invites.
