Will Benson is staying in the Cincinnati Reds organization.
Nick Kirby and Austin Layton break down the surprising news that Benson cleared MLB waivers and has officially been outrighted to Triple-A Louisville after going unclaimed. What does this mean for Benson's future? Could he work his way back to Cincinnati later this season? And what does the move say about how the rest of Major League Baseball currently values the talented but inconsistent outfielder?
The guys discuss why Benson clearing waivers came as a surprise, the financial and roster implications of the move, and whether this could ultimately benefit both Benson and the Reds. They also look at what Benson needs to improve in Louisville, whether there's still a path back to the major league roster, and how the Reds' current outfield depth influenced the decision.
