Cincinnati, October 2025 Rumors have swirled for weeks about where Elly De La Cruz might take his career. Would the Reds’ superstar explore free agency down the road? Would another team lure him with a massive contract? On Friday night, the 23-year-old phenom put all doubts to rest with an answer that sent shockwaves of joy through Reds Country.
De La Cruz confirmed that, for the foreseeable future, his career is tied to Cincinnati. For him, the decision isn’t about dollars or headlines it’s about gratitude, loyalty, and a bond that runs deeper than the game itself.
“This is pure love,” De La Cruz said. “The fans, the city, my teammates they’ve given me everything. Now I want to give it all back. Cincinnati is my home.”
