The next decent true CF in the minors is probably Jose Siri, but he's a year or three away from MLB, and had an injury setback in 2018.
I'd also point out that the Dodgers have about 4 center fielders on their current roster. Could be a likely trade partner.
Quote:It's likely that Reds center field prospect Taylor Trammell knew ahead of time that hitting a Wiffle ball is slightly different from hitting an actual baseball.

Article on team's website. Looks like they view him as the future at center field. Maybe not this year, might be why they are looking for a vet, but Trammell will be the CF sooner rather than later. If they don't think Trammell is ready this year, I think Ervin would be a fine one year stop gap. He showed plenty of ability down the stretch last year.
