The 2018-19 free agent pool is loaded with talented position players, but the Cincinnati Reds should avoid all of them. The Reds have made it clear on multiple occasions that pitching is the priority this offseason. Cincinnati should stick to their plan and avoid the temptation of bringing in a position player this winter.
Manny Machado, Bryce Harper, Wilson Ramos, Mike Moustakas, those are just a few of the big name free agents available this offseason. While the Reds are unlikely to pursue a big name like Harper, there are some other players like World Series hero Steve Pearce and former MVP Josh Donaldson available as well.
