The Reds have arrived at Zebulon, North Carolina’s Five County Stadium, home of the Carolina Mudcats.  The Class AA affiliate is playing host to an exhibition in which the Reds are taking on the best of the organization’s minor league system.  Another Futures game will take place tomorrow at Dayton’s Fifth Third Field.

Reds manager Dusty Baker took some time to chat with the local media.

Reds pitcher Bill Bray is seen here signing autographs for fans of all ages.

Reds President and Chief Executive Officer Bob Castellini met with a few Reds fans at the ballpark.  I believe that they have decided on who will make the 25-man roster.  The rest of us will have to wait.

What would minor league baseball be without the world’s largest motorized shopping cart?

More from Dayton tomorrow…
