MLB Rumors: Reds Interested in Nicholas Castellanos, Marcell Ozuna
The Cincinnati Reds struggled at the plate last season, finishing 12th in the National League batting average, on-base percentage and runs scored.
According to Jon Paul Morosi of MLB.com, the franchise is looking into third baseman Nicholas Castellanos and outfielder Marcell Ozuna as possible free-agent options to help address those offensive woes.
Castellanos had 27 home runs, 73 RBI and a .289 batting average for the Detroit Tigers and Chicago Cubs last season. He'll be entering his age-28 campaign in 2020.
Meanwhile, the 29-year-old Ozuna hit .241 with 29 home runs and 89 RBI for the St. Louis Cardinals.
