The Cincinnati Reds need outfield help in the worst of ways. Their collective outfield unit produced a meager 86 wRC+ during the 2022 season - tied for the 3rd worst of any MLB club - and that was production that included the efforts of Tommy Pham.
Barring significant position changes, there’s no lightning in a bottle offense waiting in the wings, either, unless Jose Barrero can magically turn his fortunes around and make a move to the grass. Luckily for the Reds, though, the free agent market looks robust with at least a lengthy list of corner outfield bats, and the nature of that group has a particular aspect to it that could well render the Reds with some leverage heading into the winter.
