Cincinnati Reds: Three forgotten players fighting for a roster spot

Opening Day is just around the corner. Though most spots on the Cincinnati Reds roster are already claimed, a few players hold hope of making the cut.

We’re approaching two weeks until thee 2020 Cincinnati Reds season kicks off. Though many of the 26 roster spots have already been claimed, a few still remain. This time of the spring, you’re essentially splitting hairs, trying to find the one or two players who stick out more than the others. Which three players seem to have been forgotten in their quest for a roster spot?

We know that Nick Castellanos, Shogo Akiyama, Joey Votto and Sonny Gray will be on the Opening Day roster. Honestly, provided everyone is healthy, the starting rotation is set. While there’s competition for the outfield, most fans know what to expect in terms of who’s making the team.

There are a few spots, however still up for grabs. The bullpen appears to have a couple spots up for grabs and perhaps, there’s a race for that final bench spot. Several players have impressed this spring, including a couple prospects. While Jose Garcia and Tyler Stephenson have put up great numbers in Cactus League action, those two are unlikely to make the roster.

We’re taking a look at those select players who’s fallen off the radar. Maybe their play has been overshadowed by a big name signing this offseason or perhaps they don’t have the name recognition or high draft value of another player in camp. Regardless, these three players may make a case to find their way onto the roster over the next two weeks.
