Cincinnati Reds: Phillip Ervin should be traded before Opening Day

Yasiel Puig, Scott Schebler and a platoon of Jesse Winker and Matt Kemp will likely make-up the outfield on David Bell‘s roster. The odd-man-out of the Cincinnati Reds outfield picture is Phillip Ervin. Despite a red-hot start to Spring Training that has seen the 26-year-old outfielder hit three home runs in less than 20 at-bats, there is unlikely to be room on the roster for Ervin.

Not only are Puig, Schebler, Winker, and Kemp near locks to make the roster, but the team’s top prospect and center fielder Nick Senzel is on the cusp of making the big leagues.
