Look: Cincinnati Reds Announce Spring Training TV Schedule on FanDuel Sports Network. Here's how you can watch the Reds this spring.

Terry Francona came out of a one-year retirement to take the managerial reins of the Cincinnati Reds this season.

These games need to be about the players,” Francona said of not facing off against his former team. “It doesn’t need to be a hug-fest."

After very few spring training games were televised last season, the Reds will be on MLBTV at least 12 times this spring, starting with their opener on Sunday, February 22. With position battles and guys battling for rotation spots, this spring should be very entertaining to watch for Reds fans.

There wasn't a lone factor that allowed Stephen Vogt the confidence he has in his job today, but his predecessor, Terry Francona, certainly helped.
