The Cincinnati Reds will have an active off-season rebuilding a bullpen that was the worst in baseball during the first half of the 2016. There’s a decent chance that bullpen members Blake Wood and Raisel Iglesias will be moved this off-season while their value is high. That will put a lot of pressure on Lorenzen and lefty Tony Cingrani, who just became a full-time reliever in 2016.
The Reds have veteran options in free agents Ross Ohlendorf and Alfredo Simon. Ohlendorf has never been a closer at the MLB level. Simon was the closer for the Baltimore Orioles.
