Jose Barrero may be the shortstop of the future, but Cincinnati Reds moving him around now

Jose Barrero is considered the Cincinnati Reds’ shortstop of the future, but he’s been used as a utility player since he was promoted to the Majors last week.

Barrero has started one game at shortstop and one game at second base. Sunday was his first start as a second baseman since he was playing with the Low-A Dayton Dragons in 2018.

“He did a lot of work and got playing time at second base in Triple-A, definitely trust the reports there,” Reds manager David Bell said.
