Re-sign Iglesias?

Incredibly disappointing the Reds wouldn’t do/beat 1 year/$14M. That would’ve been perfect.
My guess is Didi wanted to play for the team that's loaded with talent. The Reds are a team for the future. If you're signing a one yr deal then you'd definitely choose Philly over the Reds. These things don't always come down to the highest bidder
So when Galvis needs a day off, or goes on the DL, these are the Reds options:
Blandino
Suarez to SS; Moustakas to 3B and VanMeter to 2B
Farmer to SS
Get ready to sign Iglesias or Peraza.
Some of us thought the writing was on the wall the day Galvis was acquired last year. He’s was a starting middle infielder with a very reasonable option, seemed like Iglesias’ replacement.
Didi would have been nice, but this isn’t a huge loss. He wanted a one-year contract. The Reds need to focus on more than 2020. They need to build for a several-year window.
Go get him next year.
