Non-tender candidate: Cincinnati Reds OF Brian Goodwin

Brian Goodwin is a former 1st round pick, former Top 100 overall prospect, and can play all three outfield positions with reasonably decent ability. He’s only once truly been given the chance to be a mostly everyday player, and that came just recently in 2019 - and in that chance, he responded with a solid .796 OPS, 108 OPS+, and 17 dingers in 136 games for the Los Angeles Angels.

There was enough to Goodwin that when the Cincinnati Reds moved promising lefty Packy Naughton to acquire him in the middle of 2020, we hardly batted an eye.
