The Cincinnati Reds have a problem on their hands, but it’s a good problem to have. After the signing of Nick Castellanos yesterday, the Reds already overcrowded outfield is now ready to explode with the influx of talent. Unfortunately, the most likely player to be deemed expendable may surprise a lot of fans. Aristides Aquino could be the odd-man out.
Now, before you jump out of your chair, I’m not advocating the Reds designate Aquino for assignment, release him or trade him. Aquino has one minor-league option remaining, meaning he can be sent down to Triple-A Louisville to being the 2020 season and recalled to the big leagues whenever the front office so chooses.
