3 Things Cincinnati Reds Still Need to Do Before the Start of Spring Training

David Kohl-USA TODAY Sports

Making the playoffs in three of the past four seasons has its benefits. Keeping the core of the team together throughout the last few years has allowed the Cincinnati Reds to contend, but they still need to make some adjustments to help the team advance in October this season.

Decisions made in the offseason will go a long way in determining how far this team goes this year.

A tight budget has limited what kind of moves the club could make, and it is losing a few key pieces from last season's squad. Luckily, the Reds have quality options who are ready to show what they can do over a full season in the majors.

There may be a spot left on the roster. Don't expect a big splash, because the team is looking for a complementary piece, not a star.

Here's a look at a few things that Cincinnati needs to do before spring training.
