9 Cincinnati Reds who could be dealt by MLB trade deadline

The Cincinnati Reds are set to deal veteran players as the MLB trade deadline approaches on August 3. With several pending free agents and club-controlled players on the market, a flurry of trades seems inevitable. The following players could potentially be dealt:

Catcher Tyler Stephenson, who hit a home run before admitting it might be his last in 11 years with the organization. He has recently improved his performance, going 39-for-112 (.348) with five home runs and a .992 OPS in his last 35 games.

Starting pitcher Brady Singer, despite his contract's remaining value, has gained increased trade interest due to his consistent performance and recovery from injuries. He has posted a 2.70 ERA and 1.182 WHIP in his last 10 starts.

Right-handed starter Hunter Greene, attractive for his contract's cost certainty and the remaining option on his deal ($21 million). Greene has struggled in recent starts but was impressive during an elbow surgery recovery period, showcasing his signature swing-and-miss pitch.

Left-handed reliever Brock Burke, known for his reliability and best overall performance in four years, has turned in the most appearances this season (56). Burke's postseason experience adds value.

Left-handed pitcher Caleb Ferguson, who has been traded three times in a row as of the deadline, has struggled recently but posted a 1.76 ERA entering July. His $4 million remaining on his deal makes him a potential trade piece.

Third baseman/DH Eugenio Suárez, who hit 49 home runs last season, is set to be traded again after previously moving from Arizona to Seattle. His $5 million remaining on his one-year deal makes it difficult to find a suitable trade partner.

First baseman/DH Nathaniel Lowe, a versatile and productive player, has been a platoon star throughout the season. His $5 million remaining on his contract could make him valuable to a team seeking power at the plate.

Right-handed pitcher Pierce Johnson, a veteran cornerstone in the rebuilt Reds bullpen, has been dealing with elbow inflammation but is now healthy again. His postseason experience and strong ERA make him a valuable trade asset.
