The Reds haven’t had a consistent starting shortstop since 2017.
Ever since Zack Cozart signed with the Los Angeles Angels following his All-Star season in 2017, the Cincinnati Reds have been searching for his replacement. While Cozart was not an elite-level shortstop, the Reds have missed the consistency of a reliable glove capable of playing, arguably, the most important position on the diamond.
Cincinnati will be looking to upgrade the shortstop position this offseason. As it stands, Kyle Farmer would be the likely starter heading into 2021.
