Trevor Story and Andrelton Simmons are two of the most likely shortstops to be on the move at the trade deadline. While shortstop is a position of need for the Cincinnati Reds, their best option may be in-house. If the team deems an upgrade at shortstop to be necessary for a stretch run, Cincinnati should just recall Jose Barrero.
Barrero has been dismantling opposing pitching this season, both at Double-A Chattanooga and Triple-A Louisville.
