“He provides great depth. He's been a shortstop, he's played second base, third base,” Reds' manager David Bell said. “He's been a successful Major League player on really good teams. He brings experience of winning. If he makes the team, he will make us a deeper, better team.”

Bell made clear that Jose Peraza will be the Reds starting shortstop.

“Peraza has made great strides. We believe in what he's doing,” Bell said. “We need to be as strong as we can with all 12 guys that make our team as position players.”

Iglesias signed with Boston in 2009 and made his big league debut in 2011. He was an all-star in 2015, batting .300 for the season. His career batting average is .270 in 656 games over a six-year career.
