The Cincinnati Reds are facing a pivotal moment as they look to solidify their infield for the upcoming season. With the recent acquisition of Gavin Lux and the struggles of Jeimer Candelario, the question looms: how will the Reds divide playing time at third base?
Candelario, who was expected to be a cornerstone of the infield, had a disappointing season last year, and with Lux's arrival, his role is now under scrutiny. Can Lux, who has primarily played second base, adapt to the hot corner? Or will he be more effective as a utility player?
Moreover, with the Reds' infield performance ranking near the bottom last season, what bold predictions can we make about their offensive output this year? Will the return of Matt McLain and the potential of young prospects like Noelvi Marte and Christian Encarnacion-Strand be enough to turn things around?
Let’s dive into the discussion! What are your thoughts on the Reds' infield situation? Do you think Lux can handle the transition to third base? How do you see the playing time being allocated among the current roster? And what are your expectations for the Reds this season? Share your insights and let’s get the conversation rolling!
