The Cincinnati Reds will be faced with an intriguing decision this coming offseason regarding their starting centerfielder, TJ Friedl. Will the Reds keep Friedl around or trade him this winter? While some Reds fans may be shocked that such a question would even be entertained, the idea of trading Friedl is very much in play.
Friedl, 30, has been the Reds starting centerfielder for much of the past two seasons, and Cincinnati's leadoff hitter after Jonathan India was traded to the Kansas City Royals last fall. Friedl has been an above-average contributor and team-leader since he began getting regular playing time back in 2022.
