You don’t see it too often, but the Cincinnati Reds are running out of options. Might general manager Nick Krall make a call to the Pittsburgh Pirates’ front office to inquire as to the availability of a couple infielders?
The Pirates are in full-on rebuild mode. We’ve seen the Buccos rid themselves of first baseman Josh Bell, right-hander Jameson Taillon, and starting pitcher Joe Musgrove. So what’s next? Perhaps the Reds could solve their shortstop quandary by picking up the phone and calling Ben Cherrington.
