Report: Cincinnati Reds Star Matt McLain Open to Position Switch

In this story:
The Cincinnati Reds are looking at another possibility of the infield being overcrowded. While injuries and transactions between now and Opening Day could make the picture a little clearer, Matt McLain is offering his help.
McLain is willing to switch positions according to Charlie Goldsmith of the Cincinnati Enquirer. He's open to playing third base or center field if it will help the Reds.
Given the Reds' struggles in the outfield and Noelvi Marte's 2024 campaign at third base, it's easy to see why the Reds are looking for help in both areas.
If McLain could be a competent outfielder, then it would give the Reds a big boost. A position switch could also give Jonathan India some job security going into 2025.
