7 years agoThe Cincinnati Reds claimed first baseman/designated hitter Kennys Vargas off of waivers on Thursday. Vargas was waived by the Minnesota Twins earlier in the week. Vargas became expendable in Minnesota following the off-season signing of Logan Morrison. Vargas has loads of power in his bat but it is unclear how much playing time he will get in Cincinnati, where there is no DH spot and All-Star Joey Votto is locked in at first base. If he gets playing time, Vargas' power bat should play well in hitter-friendly Great American Ballpark.--Matt T - RotoBaller
