The Cincinnati Reds have been linked with several players through rumors and some pundits are glad that they passed on trading for Josh Naylor and Joc Pederson this winter. Speaking on the Cincinnati roster's offseason needs, pundits Jeff Carr and Steven Offenbaker discussed why both players were not a good fit for the team on the "Locked On Reds" podcast:
"There were rumors linking the Reds with the Guardians about about talking about Joash Naylor and outfielder Lane Thomas... the rservations I had with it is that they were looking for their biggest offseason need in not one but two players. And that doesn't work. When you get two players to do one job, you really don't have any solution whatsoever," Carr said.
