The MLB offseason hasn't officially begun, but that doesn't mean that the Cincinnati Reds are sitting on their hands at the moment. There's little doubt that president of baseball operations Nick Krall and the rest of the Reds front office are tirelessly poring over stats and setting their vision for how to upgrade the roster heading into the winter.
Last offseason, one of the biggest internal decisions the Reds had to make was whether or not to retain Nick Martinez. In the end, Cincinnati extended a qualifying offer to the right-hander and Martinez accepted the Reds' generous $21 million pay day.
