Cincinnati Reds outfielder Aristides Aquino 'looking in the present' after breakout year https://t.co/kmS5e2oLIV February 20, 2020

Aristides Aquino arrived at spring training without a guaranteed place on the roster of the Cincinnati Reds. Even a Mark Sheldon report from MLB.com. says the Dominican could start the season in the minors, given the number of outfielders that they have in the organization.After his monstrous month of August of the 2019 season, Aquino had problems at the plate during September, leaving an OPS of .619, because he swung several pitches outside the area.In addition, the man who had 19 homers in just 205 chances, recorded 30.9% strikeouts in September, after an acceptable 22.6% during the previous month.For the 2020 campaign, the Reds added Nick Castellanos and Shogo Akiyama to the field, so "The Punisher" will have to fight with Nick Senzel and Jesse Winker to occupy one of the spots of the scarlet ensemble.If the Dominican loses the fight, he will play in the minors every day instead of sitting on the bench, at least from the Reds perspective.
