Cincinnati Reds: Three remaining free agents to chase before camp begins

The free agent market is starting to dry up, however, there’s a few impact players remaining. Could the Cincinnati Reds sign one more before camp starts?

The Cincinnati Reds set out this offseason to strike some free agent deals with impact players who could help the team chase a division title in 2020. The additions of Mike Moustakas, Wade Miley, and Shogo Akiyama are nice, but it feels like Cincinnati is one piece shy of cementing their spot atop the NL Central. Who else could the front office sign before spring training.

In just a few weeks, the Reds will descend upon Goodyear, Arizona with a reshaped roster. Fans would be foolish to think that the roster slated to take the field in 2020 is not in position to compete for a return to the postseason. However, fans would also be foolish to think that the additions made this winter guarantee the Reds return to the playoffs.

There are still some holes on the Reds roster. While a lot of fans think shortstop is the biggest void on Cincinnati’s roster, it’s not the only spot that could use an upgrade. Furthermore, if the Reds are going to bring in a new shortstop who’s better than Freddy Galvis, it won’t be via free agency. That ship sailed when Didi Gregorius signed with the Philadelphia Phillies.

Catcher has been a hot topic as well this offseason, but again, there’s no one better on the free agent market than the platoon of Tucker Barnhart and Curt Casali. Yasmani Grandal signed earlier this offseason with the Chicago White Sox. So, who’s left? Which remaining free agents could the Reds brass set its sights on?
