Former Reds farmhand Didi Gregorius is a free agent again this offseason.
The Cincinnati Reds need to fill the hole at shortstop this offseason. Freddy Galvis is gone, José Iglesias is not coming back, and José García, while talented, is not yet ready to face major league pitching. Among the free agent shortstops available, Didi Gregorius makes the most sense, and a multi-year deal may be enough to bring the former farmhand home.
