Yasmani Grandal is off the market. The 31-year-old catcher signed a four-year/$73M deal with the Chicago White Sox. The Cincinnati Reds have long since been rumored to be in the market for Grandal, so with the top backstop available now headed to the Windy City, where will the Reds turn their attention in free agency?
The Reds front office has been crystal clear in their offseason plans – they’re looking for offense. Now, that doesn’t mean that Dick Williams and Nick Krall are going to neglect adding some bullpen arms or maybe even a fifth starter, but the first priority this offseason appears to be finding some capable hitters to help boost the Reds lineup.
