There are two teams clearly looking for a shortstop – the Cincinnati Reds and Philadelphia Phillies – and Didi Gregorius is the last impact shortstop left on the free-agent carousel. The carousel was busy spinning on Tuesday when three shortstops fell off the board. Marcus Semien is headed to the Toronto Blue Jays to play second base.
Houston Astros manager Dusty Baker shared a heartfelt tribute to National Baseball Hall of Famer Hank Aaron, Baker's former Atlanta Braves teammate and long-time friend who died last week at the age of 86. From FOX Sports Braves via Twitter: Last week, Baker - the Cincinnati Reds' manager from 2008 to 2013 - said Aaron "was second only to my dad, and my dad meant the world to me," per MLB.com's Brian McTaggart.
Will the Cincinnati Reds sign one of the top free-agent shortstops of this offseason? They're running out of options. Marcus Semien and Andrelton Simmons are no longer available after Semien signed Tuesday with the Toronto Blue Jays and Simmons signed with the Minnesota Twins.
