The last of the available shortstops available in free agency has fallen off the board.
If the Reds had one thing they had to address in this offseason, it was getting more production from the shortstop position. After letting Freddy Galvis go in free agency, they’d been linked with Andrelton Simmons (now a Twin), Marcus Semien (now a Jay), and a player that they signed and developed before watching him make a name for himself elsewhere in Didi Gregorius.
As was written about in this space a few days ago, Gregorius was the corner that the Reds backed themselves into.
