The Reds say they have some financial flexibility. A look at free agents fits.

Even before the Cincinnati Reds traded veteran infielder Kyle Farmer, General Manager Nick Krall said the club had “a little" payroll flexibility to navigate the offseason.

The roster moves last week, replacing Farmer with Kevin Newman while releasing Jeff Hoffman, Aristides Aquino and Derek Law, shaved nearly $7 million off next year’s projected payroll based on estimated salaries for arbitration-eligible players.

So, which areas of the roster are the Reds looking to spend?

“For us, it’s just trying to figure out how we can best utilize our money and get improvement across the board across all levels,” Krall said.
