The Cincinnati Reds need a shortstop. However, if you’re a fan of analytics, you may not be very high on free agent Didi Gregorius. Like it or not, analytics have taken over the game of baseball, and some of the advanced metrics suggest Gregorius may not be the ideal candidate to take over at shortstop for Cincinnati.

The Reds have been rumored to be in on all three of the top free agent shortstops at some point during the offseason.
