While we’ve heard a lot of shortstop rumors over the past few weeks, one name that hasn’t yet emerged is Pittsburgh Pirates infielder Kevin Newman. However, Newman would be a great fit for the Cincinnati Reds heading into the 2021 season.
No, Newman isn’t going to put Cincinnati in the driver’s seat of the National League Central Division, but he’d certainly upgrade the team’s offensive profile and would allow top infield prospect José García to continue to develop within the farm system.
