The devastating injury to Matt McLain paired with the 80-game suspension of Noelvi Marte means that Jonathan India, once mired in a trade-block odyssey, will almost certainly feature prominently in the middle infield of the Cincinnati Reds in 2024. The former 2021 National League Rookie of the Year has had quite the bumpy road since those days, however, with multiple hamstring and foot injuries derailing his once-stellar form.
A guy who had a breakout rookie campaign struggling to replicate that form? Surely that wouldn’t be a problem for the 2024 Reds, right?
I mean to be no harbinger of doom here today.
