Despite the Reds’ situation as a rebuilding club, general manager Nick Krall has remained engaged in talks about potential moves for this offseason this week during the annual GM Meetings in Las Vegas.
Without specifying a payroll figure for 2023, Krall said there was some financial flexibility to make additions that could improve the roster.
“We’re pretty much where we are. We’ve got a range, but we’re trying to figure out how we can make this team the best we can,” Krall said. “We’re talking to every team and agents and trying to figure out what our options are.”
Where do the Reds need to upgrade? There are several spots, including the outfield, bullpen and rotation, but Krall did not list a top priority.
“We struggled across the board and lost 100 games,” he said. “We need to make sure we’re doing everything we can to make this team better, whether it’s incrementally or if we can make a larger move -- to figure out what that is. We’re just trying to figure out how to get better, one day at a time.”
