The Cincinnati Reds are reportedly talking to free agent shortstop Jose Iglesias about a minor league deal for 2019. Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic was the first to report this.
#Reds have been in discussions with free-agent SS Jose Iglesias on a minor-league contract, sources tell me and @ctrent. Would be reserve IFer, giving team a true backup SS and bench of Schebler/Kemp/Dietrich/Iglesias/Casali (assuming Senzel is in center and Winker in left).
