When the Cincinnati Reds signed infielder Jeimer Candelario earlier in the winter despite their already jam-packed infield, the questions about why were nearly endless.
Soon, though, we learned that Spencer Steer - an infielder by trade - was likely set for even more time in the outfield, as he’d shown at least a little bit of ability to play there during his 2023 rookie season. Still, it seemed there was just something a little off about how clogged the team’s dirt-minders would be, something I touched on earlier this week while searching for a role for Jonathan India on the squad.
