Cincinnati Reds: Why Brian Goodwin should be non-tendered

Outfielder Brian Goodwin’s stay in the Queen City should be a very short one. That’s not to say that Goodwin isn’t a major league talent who will surely find a job in 2021, but a crowded outfield and economics are not working in his favor to remain part of the Cincinnati Reds.

Goodwin, who just recently turned 30-years old, was acquired in an August 31st trade with the Los Angeles Angels. Appearing in 20 games with the Redlegs and accumulating 49 at-bats, the left-handed batter slashed just .163/.236/.327 with two homers while striking out an eyebrow-raising 19 times.
