With the offensive struggles of the Cincinnati Reds last season, it isn’t surprising that the front office would be looking to upgrade some positions over the offseason to improve the team heading into next year. There are several positions that will be up for grabs this offseason and likely to see an upgrade, but the one position that needs heavy consideration is catcher.
Fans were disappointed when the Reds passed up the chance to trade for J.T. Realmuto last offseason, but the Reds have two excellent defensive catchers on the roster. Both Tucker Barnhart and Curt Casali call a great game and run a solid infield.
