Last week, we learned the Reds were finalizing a deal to bring on Shogo Akiyama to bolster the outfield. We haven’t yet heard the specific numbers, but word is that it is for three years and a bit more than $20 million. I absolutely love this move. The Reds had to add a quality outfielder this offseason and Shogo is that. And at a reasonable price!
So one might think this would preclude the Reds from bringing on the likes of Marcell Ozuna, who is also an outfielder and also will cost quite a bit more moolah than Shogo, but here we are:
The market for Marcell Ozuna may be gaining some clarity.
