Dee Strange-Gordon eyeing Cincinnati Reds shortstop spot

Mike Moustakas was a career 3B who had started a grand total of 40 games at 2B before the Cincinnati Reds signed him to a record contract to, well, be their 2B for awhile. Nick Senzel was drafted as a 3B/2B before being switched quickly to the outfield. Eugenio Suarez plays 3B after a career spent as a SS, and we’ve even seen Jesse Winker - long lauded as a defense-last corner outfielder - get reps on purpose in CF.

If there’s an organization out there in Major League Baseball that appears willing to give players roles on the field that don’t exactly fit the back of their baseball cards to date, it’s the Cincinnati Reds.
