With the Luis Castillo trade rumors now squashed by Cincinnati Reds General Manager Nick Krall, it’s time for the front office to address the vacancy at shortstop heading into the 2021 season. Former Los Angeles Angels infielder Andrelton Simmons makes the most sense.

Is Simmons the best shortstop available on the open market? No, that title would go to either Didi Gregorius or Marcus Semien; take your pick.
