Matt McLain

Playing one position this spring

Reds manager Terry Francona said that he hoped that McLain would play just one position -- second base -- in spring training, according to C Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic.

Analysis

There were a lot of rumblings that McLain might move to center field this offseason, spurred both by McLain's deployment during the Arizona Fall League and by the acquisition of Gavin Lux, but for now that doesn't seem to be in the Reds' plans.
