There’s not enough room on the Reds roster for Aristides Aquino and Nick Castellanos.

Aristides Aquino was optioned to the Cincinnati Reds alternate site following Game 2 of last night’s doubleheader. After signing Nick Castellanos to a four-year/$64M deal this past offseason, the Reds made their intentions known as it relates to who’s manning right field. A crowded Cincinnati outfield may not be able to hold both Castellanos and Aquino in 2021.
