The Cincinnati Reds, on Sunday, reinstated Nick Senzel from the 60-day injured list and then optioned the former No. 2 overall pick to Triple-A Louisville. Senzel was not in the Bats’ lineup last night during Louisville’s 2-1 victory over the Nashville Sounds. This situation suggests that the Reds and Senzel will soon part ways.
While I don’t believe that this eventual separation will be as public and contentious as what transpired between Kris Bryant and the Chicago Cubs, with Scott Boras representing Nick Senzel, I don’t expect the former first-round pick to be back in the Queen City next season.
