While the Cincinnati Reds have a surplus in the starting rotation, that doesn't mean that their pitching staff is complete. There are a lot of needs in the bullpen, with late-inning arms, at least one lefty, and a swing man to replace Nick Martinez all on the docket. With a tight budget and a need for a power bat in the lineup, that doesn't leave a lot of room to fill all of those gaps, at least not satisfactorily.
A lot of attention is on the closer market with Devin Williams and others standing out as candidates to replace Emilio Pagán.
