Reds Weigh Deadline Move as Hunter Greene Draws Heavy Trade Interest

In a seller-friendly move, the Reds have reportedly told teams Hunter Greene is no longer available, signaling a possible deadline trade despite ongoing interest from multiple clubs. Greene’s high strikeout upside and affordable contract make him an attractive, controllable starter, though health and workload concerns linger. While several outlets have floated real trade chatter, any deal will hinge on the Reds receiving MLB-ready talent in return, with Elly De La Cruz among potential assets; if no compelling package emerges, Cincinnati could opt to keep Greene to solidify a rotation built around Burns and Abbott.
