With the exception of a true masher, the dream addition for the Cincinnati Reds is an athletic, cost-controlled outfield bat who can do it all at the plate and in the field. That sounds like a tough ask. Cody Bellinger and Kyle Tucker fit that bill, but the Reds have nowhere near the funds to make a deal with either come to fruition.
That leaves the trade market, and who in their right mind would be giving up toolsy and cheap outfielders? For much of the winter, the answer seemed to be the Boston Red Sox.
