Offensive upgrades are at the top of the Cincinnati Reds' offseason shopping list this year as the team looks to rectify the troubles that got them bounced in the NLWCS. With an already tight budget set to get tighter thanks to some hefty arbitration raises, the Reds could try to save some money by targeting a mid-level free agent without a lengthy track record.
Though that might save them a few bucks, compared to the top-of-the-market options, such a player still won't come cheap. The outfield seems to be the logical place to upgrade, with a healthier amount of impact options and fewer internal alternatives than what is present in Cincinnati's infield.
