Offseason[edit]

The 2010 Cincinnati Reds offseason was marked by two key pickups. After acquiring a key player in Scott Rolen midway through the 2009 season, another veteran was added in Orlando Cabrera. In late December 2009, the Reds GM Walt Jocketty made a move to acquire Aroldis Chapman out of Cuba. With the many late season wins in the 2009 season, many picked the Reds to finish higher than they did the previous season.

Opening Day: On Opening Day 2010, the Reds were defeated by their division rival by a score of 11 to 6, in front of over 42,000 fans at Great American Ball Park. They lost the first series of the season 2 games to 1.
