The Reds have yet to make any sort of splash this offseason, but MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand recently picked the most logical trade candidate for each team in Major League Baseball. <\/p>\n
For the Reds, he chose Hunter Greene. <\/p>\n
“The Reds have made it clear that they are not actively shopping Greene, a 2024 All-Star who has posted a 2.76 ERA in 258 innings over the past two seasons.,” Feinsand wrote<\/a>. “Then again, when is the last time a team came out and said it was planning to move one of its top young stars? Cincinnati has plenty of rotation depth, and if the top hitters on the market prove to be too pricy, there\u2019s always a chance the Reds could use Greene to land the big bat they\u2019re seeking.”<\/p>\n Despite all of the rumors surrounding Greene this offseason, Reds President of Operations Nick Krall downplayed the idea of trading their ace. <\/p>\n “It\u2019s really tough to get rid of a top-of-the-rotation starter,” Krall said. “I am not ever going to say never, but it\u2019s a really tough thing to actually do.\u201d<\/p>\n Reds manager Terry Francona shared similar feelings. <\/p>\n “I don’t think those things are going to happen,”Francona said<\/a>. “Pitching is too hard for us to acquire through free agency and we are fortunate that we have developed some pretty good starting pitching. Nick Lodolo and Andrew Abbott took big steps forward. We got to keep Hunter on the mound because when he is, he’s about as good as anybody.”<\/p>\n While I am sure the Reds are listening, it would need to take an absolute haul for them to actually pull the trigger. <\/p>\n You can see Feinsand’s full article here. <\/a><\/p>\n Make sure you bookmark Cincinnati Reds Talk<\/a> for the latest news, exclusive interviews, and daily coverage of the Cincinnati Reds!<\/p>\n You May Also Like:<\/p>\n Reds Infielder Matt McLain Reflects on Frustrating Season After Wild Card Series Loss<\/a><\/p>\n One Under-The-Radar Reds Prospect Participating in Arizona Fall League<\/a><\/p>\n Cincinnati Reds on Wrong Side of History After Another Postseason Loss<\/a><\/p>\n Former Cincinnati Reds All-Star Removed From Braves\u2019 40-Man Roster<\/a><\/p>\n Exclusive Interview With Cincinnati Reds Minor League All-Star<\/a><\/p>\n Cincinnati Reds Squander Chances in Season-Ending Loss to Dodgers<\/a><\/p>\n Sal Stewart Makes Reds History in Game 2 of National League Wild Card Series<\/a><\/p>\n Former Reds Pitcher Gets Out of Bases-Loaded Jam for Yankees, Has Epic Reaction<\/a><\/p>\n MLB Analyst Suggests Reds’ Ace Hunter Greene Was Tipping Pitches Against Dodgers<\/a><\/p>\n Cincinnati Reds Ace Hunter Greene Make Major League Baseball History<\/a><\/p>\n Cincinnati Reds Utility Player Elects Free Agency<\/a><\/p>\n Four Cincinnati Reds Players Nominated For All-MLB Team<\/a><\/p>\n Reds Become First Team Ever to Reach Playoffs Without Meeting These Statistical Marks<\/a><\/p>\n Brent Suter Does Impression of Terry Francona After Reds Clinch Playoff Berth<\/a><\/p>\n Milwaukee Brewers Show Pure Class After Cincinnati Reds Clinch Playoff Spot<\/a><\/p>\n Former Cincinnati Reds Outfielder Designated for Assignment<\/a><\/p>\n Former Cincinnati Reds Fan Favorite Claimed By Atlanta Braves<\/a><\/p>\n Cincinnati Reds Sign Former Wake Forest Pitcher to Minor League Deal<\/a><\/p>\n Cincinnati Reds Sign Former George Mason Pitcher to Minor League Deal<\/a><\/p>\n —–<\/p>\n Follow Cincinnati Reds on SI on Twitter\/X: @RedsTalkSI<\/a><\/p>\n Like Our Facebook Page<\/a><\/p>\n Subscribe and follow the ONLY Daily Reds Podcast<\/a><\/p>\n
