What in the world are the Cincinnati Reds doing? With Dee Strange-Gordon signing a minor-league contract, fans are left a bit dumbfounded. While it’s not a major-league deal, adding Strange-Gordon is, well, strange.
The Cincinnati Reds don’t need a utility infielder, unless the team is planning on heading into the 2021 season with Kyle Farmer as the starting shortstop. Having a left-handed hitter like Strange-Gordon could offer David Bell an additional option off the bench, but it’s not as if the veteran has a great record recently.
