The Cincinnati Reds will still be in pursuit of a big bat, even with news that preferred target Kyle Schwarber is going back to the Philadelphia Phillies. Aside from the Reds needing to regroup on that front, a parallel need is for a right-handed bat to replace what they're set to lose with Austin Hays and Miguel Andujar in free agency.
This won't be the same sort of earth-shattering move that signing Schwarber or someone of his ilk would've been. Nor is it a suitable replacement for said heart-of-the-order bat. However, the impact of Andujar down the stretch and Hays, when he was able to take the field, were key cogs against left-handed pitching.
