Reds, why??
AlphaZero
Because the organization is thin at 1B behind Votto and this is a minor league deal with very little to no risk? I mean, seriously, every team makes these kinds of moves to pad out the minor league depth chart.

He also plays LF where they have another gaping hole

I’m surprised they signed a AAA 1b. Kyle Waldrop and Steve Selsky already seemed likely to fill that role. Or Adam Duvall, if he doesn’t make the 25 man roster. There are even more internal candidates, including the same three, for Allen’s other position, LF.
I doubt Brandon Allen will play for the Reds, and my best guess is that his role is to boost the Louisville Bats’ offense.

They do play a DH in the AAA Bats’ division, and Waldrop and Selky are both fairly capable in the OF corners as well.

I agree. Assuming we call up a LF he can replace them.
