Reds will need to make some room on the 40 to protect minor leagues from the Rule 5 and to add potential free agents. Who is in jeopardy?

Am I correct that Dietrich..Galvis and Gausman could be non tendered if the Reds so choose

Good amount of bubble guys. Graterol and Colon are definitely gonna be outrighted. For the pitchers you've got RJ Alaniz, Jimmy Herget, Joel Kuhnel, Keury Mella, Sal Romano, and Jackson Stephens probably in danger. I think the latter three could be dropped, the first three might be safe. Blandino, O'Grady, and Schebler are probably the bubble offensive guys, possibly Siri too, not including the bigger decisions about Peraza, Galvis, and Dietrich.
I think the Reds want to keep Gausman, but maybe not at his arb salary.

Most of the guys Tom mentioned will lose spots, but they won't lose them until the Reds need to add someone to the 40 man roster. Between now and the non-tender deadline I would expect Graterol, Colon, Stephens to be outrighted.
Then the non-tenders - Dietrich, Gausman, Peraza, Bowman all possibilities.
And then the likes of Mella, Alaniz, Schebler, Romano, O'Grady, Farmer, Reed, Siri, etc. if the Reds need more spots.
Hopefully the Reds will make some moves that force some of these cuts.
Blandino is not getting cut. Neither are Herget or Kuhnel.
Wood and Iglesias going to FA in 4 weeks will open 2 spots for Santillan and Stephenson.
Galvis' option must be declined or picked up within 5 days of the W.S. ending.

You think Blandino is safer than Farmer? I think they're both fringy but I think they like Farmer's versatility, while Blandino still just hasn't put too much "on tape" at the big league level as they say.
I think Bowman likely secured himself winter protection with his September performance (10.2 scoreless innings) barring some bigger moves. Plus Bell knows and likes him from the St. Louis days.

Abso..freaking...lutely
(And yes September probably saved Bowman from being nontendered)
I think Blandino, Farmer and Peraza will all be retained. It's debatable whether they should be retained, but they will.
Plenty of chaff to cut off the 40 man roster when needed.
I wonder if the Reds will go down to 39 and try to grab a bullpen arm in Rule V?
If there's no one they like, they will probably need the space for an eventual bullpen addition anyway.

Nov. 13, 2007: One of the greatest days in Reds history: John Allen gets the boot!
A couple of the low OBP bats need to be moved off the 25-man roster and replaced with higher-than-average OBP bats. There are just too many easy outs and guys who can get pitched around when the opposing team needs to get out of trouble.

Blandino and Farmer are safe IMO because they are still league minimum salary. Peraza isn't so not so sure....
REDREAD (10-01-2019)
I suspect they'll jettison 12 - 14 guys off the 40-man roster to free up spots for other team's cast-offs. There are 19 candidates(!) for which decisions will have to be made.
Free Agents
Alex Wood
Jose Iglesias
Non-tenders
Kevin Gausman
Keury Mella
Sal Romano
Jose Peraza
Brian O'Grady
Juan Graterol
Derek Dietrich
Freddy Galvis
Christian Colon
Jackson Stephens
Scott Schebler
Questionable
Matt Bowman
Alex Blandino
Jose Siri
Jimmy Herget
Joel Kuhnel
RJ Alaniz
Poaching talent from LA, New York, and Tampa would be a pretty solid idea, IMO, as would being aggressive early in free agency, and the Rule 5 draft. There's somewhere around $28M in salary at the major league level here, give or take a couple million either way. That's enough to add depth or a true difference-maker and chaff.
Expect an active off-season.

Wow a lot of chaff on the current 40-man. Great idea to poach from the top 5-10 systems to build much needed 40-man depth

I’ll go on record and say there is no one player listed I would lose sleep over the Reds not keeping him around. I’d love Wood on a cheap deal. Gausman maybe on a 2 year cheap bullpen deal. Perhaps a fair take it or leave it deal to Igleisias. The rest I wouldn’t expend much effort on.
According to wiki, Bono was usually the first to be dropped during 40, then Adam Clayton, the Edge then Larry Mullen.
