The Cincinnati Reds made several offseason acquisitions this past winter; most of which came by way of trade. The Reds added Gavin Lux, Brady Singer, Taylor Rogers, and Jose Trevino through various offseason deals, and their biggest free agent acquisition was arguably signing Austin Hays to a one-year contract worth $5 million.
Scott Barlow's contributions this season, however, cannot be ignored. The Reds quietly inked Barlow to a one-year, $2.5 million deal just before pitchers and catchers reported to Goodyear for spring training. At this rate, the Reds may need to consider picking up Barlow's $6.
