Yonder Alonso has lost 18 pounds this winter

Yonder Alonso told John Fay of the Cincinnati Enquirer that he has lost 18 pounds this offseason.

The hope is that losing the weight will allow him to be more spry as he continues his transition to left field. "That’s part of being a professional," said Alonso. "You do what you’ve got to do to play and get ready for the season. I’ve been doing that." The 24-year-old is major-league ready with the bat, but has struggled to find a position with Joey Votto blocking first base. His name continues to float in trade rumors and a change in scenery may be the best thing that could happen to him from a fantasy perspective.
