While we can vent endlessly about the lack of spending done by the Cincinnati Reds in any effort to upgrade their shortstop position over the winter (we will again, I’m sure), there’s another distinct area on their roster that saw a large exodus with few imports, too:
The bullpen.
Gone are Raisel Iglesias and mid-season acquisition Archie Bradley, two arms that have long been anchors in their respective roles. Add in that Michael Lorenzen seems poised to earn a spot in the starting rotation, and there are a trio of high leverage roles that have been left up for grabs heading into camp in Goodyear, Arizona.
