Reds News

The Cincinnati Reds are feeling the heat as the trade deadline looms, sitting at a lackluster 51-57 and struggling to score runs, averaging just 3.0 R/G over the last week. With Hunter Greene's future uncertain, especially with teams like the Tigers eyeing Tarik Skubal, the front office may have tough decisions to make. Meanwhile, rookie Sal Stewart is the silver lining, continuing to be an RBI machine after his impressive performances against the Pirates, showcasing why he’s a keeper. On a darker note, the team announced that outfielder Blake Dunn will undergo season-ending elbow surgery, further diminishing their depth. While the Reds are in a tight spot, with the Diamondbacks looking to buy, it’s clear they need to make some moves to breathe life back into a fading season.
