The Cincinnati Reds are getting ready for the winter meetings where the Rule 5 Draft will take place. They also will meet with free agents and other teams. It is the best time to make deals and to start talking about them, as well.
The top priority of every step of the off-season is moving Brandon Phillips. He has expressed interest in going to SoCal, but he likely isn’t the Dodgers top selection. The Reds may need to wait for other moves to be completed before moving Phillips.
The Reds also are looking for a veteran backstop.
