Cincinnati Reds General Manager Nick Krall told Mark Sheldon of Reds.com last week that one of the priorities this offseason was to find a shortstop for the 2021 season. If you are heading into the offseason looking for a shortstop, this offseason is a good one to be in that market. The free agent class is headlined at the position by Didi Gregorius, Marcus Semien, Andrelton Simmons, and Korean shortstop Ha-Seong Kim (has not yet been posted, but is expected to be after Thanksgiving). That also doesn’t include the trade market, which reportedly includes Francisco Lindor, again.
