What are the downfalls if the Reds make a deal for Willy Adames?
The Cincinnati Reds need a shortstop. As it stands currently, Cincinnati would enter the 2021 season with either Kyle Farmer or José García playing the position. Farmer is a fine ballplayer, but it better suited for a utility role, and García only has 67 major league at-bats. Trading for Willy Adames is a possibility, but there are some concerns if the Reds and Rays swing a deal.
