He could be the answer to the Tigers’ woes at second base - for the right price. Jonathan India is far from a perfect player, but he’s only 26-years-old, has three years until he hits free agency, and has the control of the strikezone that has been a staple of Scott Harris’s acquisitions. Probably not a whole lot of good ones, either. I bet that trip down memory lane stokes all sorts of feelings. Off the top of my head, here is an incomplete list of guys that have played second base since 2018: Niko Goodrum, Gordon Beckham, Harold Castro, Willi Castro, Jonathan Schoop, Zack McKinstry, and Andy Ibáñez. Since Ian Kinsler was traded following the conclusion of the 2017 season, second base has been a revolving door in Detroit.
The dialogue has progressed this week but no deal is close as of this hour. Sources: Reds are discussing Jonathan India trade possibilities with 3 or 4 teams.
