Desmond Jennings was expected to be the next Carl Crawford for the Tampa Bay Rays, an exciting player that could hit for some power while burning up the basepaths. While he did display some of that potential, hitting double digit home runs for four consecutive seasons, and stealing 20 or more bases three times, he never quite became the player that the Rays hoped he would become.
A free agent after being released by the Rays, Jennings may have found a new home. According to Chris Cotillo of SBNation.com, the Cincinnati Reds are closing in on a minor league contract with the former Rays outfielder.
