The 1910 Cincinnati Reds season was a season in American baseball. The Reds finished fifth in the National League with a record of 75–79.
Offseason
On January 20, the Reds traded pitchers Bob Ewing and Ad Brennan to the Philadelphia Phillies, receiving pitchers Frank Corridon and Harry Coveleski. Corridon had a record of 11–9 with a 2.11 ERA in 27 games, while Coveleski had a 6–10 record with a 2.74 ERA in 24 games in the 1909 season.
Corridon would not stay with Cincinnati, as he was traded a couple of weeks later, with second baseman Miller Huggins and outfielder Rebel Oakes to the St. Louis Cardinals, getting pitcher Fred Beebe and infielder Alan Storke. Beebe was the Cardinals ace in 1909, going 15–21 with a 2.82 ERA in 44 games. As a rookie in 1906, Beebe led the National League in strikeouts with 171.

It would be the closest the team would get to first place, as the club fell out of the pennant race as the season went on.
