you are forgetting that Edwin Encarnacion is injured and should return in a few weeks. Though he was struggling I don’t think that an upgrade is necessary there. Shortstop has been a weak position all around the majors. The players that are probably available are pretty uninspiring: Orlando Cabrera, Bobby Crosby, and Jack Wilson.

The Reds who are currently starting Laynce Nix in LF should trade away OF talent to acquire pitching? That refrain may have made sense for the last decade, but for once the Reds are rocking a pretty talented pitching staff with a good bit of depth in the upper minors. What they could really is a left side of the infield that can hit and field, since right now all they have are guys who do one or the other well.

Per CBS, Reimold called up for the KC series due to injury to Scott and illness for Pie. Not sure if Reimold will stick, though.
