While fans were eagerly watching their social media feed over the past few months hoping for a blockbuster trade, the front office was perfectly content with Freddy Galvis being the Cincinnati Reds Opening Day shortstop. However, the depth behind Galvis is questionable. Look for Kyle Farmer, not Alex Blandino, to backup Galvis in 2020, thus allowing the Reds to keep six outfielders.
Farmer asserted himself as an indispensable piece of the Reds roster last season. The 29-year-old found his way into a career-high 97 games, playing at least one inning at every single infield position, including catcher.
