Our friends at BlogRedMachine.com (covering the Cincinnati Reds) recently put together an article on the possibility of the Reds trading away 28-year-old catcher Tucker Barnhart in the offseason. One of the reasons behind the trade possibility is that the Reds are believed to be one of the front-runners to land free agent catcher Yasmani Grandal.
If Grandal comes to Cincinnati, the Reds will reportedly be looking to shift away from Barnhart, who could fill a hole for a team at catcher and provide a left-handed bat as well (Barnhart is a switch hitter but has been far more successful from the left side of the plate).
