Trade Rumors for the Cincinnati Reds Seem to be Saying the Same Thing
The Cincinnati Reds have been linked to Luis Robert Jr., Lane Thomas and Josh Naylor, they were finalists in the trade sweepstakes for Garret Crochet, and they could even be in the mix for Taylor Ward. All of this is telling Jeff and Steve one thing, they’ll toll you what that is on today’s podcast. The Reds also continue to seek out starting pitching so it is time to rank how much we trust the Reds starting rotation pitchers and include a few of the rumored pitchers, as well.
This is a replay of the first half of Thursday’s live show

I think we go for Tucker. He’s the best player. He go big if we’re going to give any prospects. Excepts he’s only a one year player. We will get a draft pick back in return for qualifying offer. Decently has to be one of the cards on the table for the Reds.
I'm still Teoscar. Go get him and save the prospect capital for a mid season deal
Luis Robert is a generational talent with an extremely team friendly contract who is still very raw. In the rather short amount of time he’s been a professional he’s managed to be a runner up rookie of the year, a gold glove winner, silver slugger, HR derby participant, and all star. Wherever he goes it will be to the benefit of the recipient. He’s a game changer and anyone with eyes should be able to recognize that. His injury’s are a concern but such is professional sports. When you combine that kind of speed and power injury’s can occur. I also think it’s possible the Sox medical staff wasn’t as preventative or engaged as they should have been with all of their players. As much of the Sox core in recent years has battled injuries. He’s easily one of the best defensive CF’s in the game, he led the league in BA in 2021, was 2nd in the league in home runs with 38 just one year ago, and stole 23 of 26 bags in just 100 games last year. The cream will most likely rise to the top with this young man sooner rather than later. Only then it wont be Chris Getz and the White Sox discussing his price tag it’ll be Scott Boras.
Luis will be a RED
I still like Robert, because if he sucks, the Reds can buy him out for 2m after 2025.
They may be looking for more pitching so they can trade an arm for a bat.
Are we going to sign anyone by the time the reds even blink all there big fish like outfielder or bullpen are gone and it’s spring training?
What about signing Jack Flaherty lol that would solidify out rotation?
They're not going to make any moves. The move they made was for Terry Franklin. This organization once again is trying to pull blinders over the fan's excited about Francona as manager. Yes, but again, this organization does not want to win. They've had 2 months to make any type of trade. So you guys need to just quit with the trade rumors. There will be no trades. They've had two months to talk to teams about trand they still haven't made but that one trade and that's the trade they ma de
Why not call the A's and ask for Rooker. You get a middle of the order hitter to hit behind Elly and McClain while having him under control for four years and you don't have to spend money on free agency bc well all know, the Reds don't like spending money.
My God why are we still waiting? Pay Santander or Hernandez. It's that simple. Let's get this done.
Am I being impatient? Maybe. I don't care. These 2 guys will not be around forever and really how much better are they going to do?
😂 Send Will Benson in the Robert deal. Throw in😮
Grichuk! Affordable and very good vs LHP. Santander- level production vs LHP for way less than 1/3 the cost. Not far from Santander in WAR. Get him and then get another OF too.
Prospects are prospects. I'll take the risk on Robert Jr. as long as we keep Burns, Stafura and Ty Floyd.
He's very solid defensively and even if he's an average version of himself offensively he makes this team better hitting at GABP. His floor with this team would be .240/.315/.460 with 20 HR and 20 SB.
We had three out of four bad signs last year that killed us Martinez was the only good sign , two pitchers are gone one was traded, the guy we have to play for two more yrs. Just wasn't good and then broke his foot, he has killed us, took money we need.
Need another catcher, power hitter?
Why not Perez from royals, rotate with Stephenson between catcher, first base and dh?
Use Strand as trade for Roberts.
