Cincinnati Reds: Matt Kemp’s release opens the door for Josh VanMeter
Josh VanMeter has been crushing the ball in Triple-A. With Matt Kemp’s release opening a spot on the 40-man roster, will the Cincinnati Reds call him up?
The Cincinnati Reds released veteran outfielder Matt Kemp on Saturday and also sent fellow outfielder Scott Schebler down to Triple-A Louisville. With a vacancy now on the 40-man roster, will the Reds take a chance on Josh VanMeter?
