Reds Guardians Trade That Could Work | Cincinnati News

Rain pushed the Reds-Guardians opener to Tuesday, and the Guardians won 6-5 — but the real story’s in the trade rumors. Analyst Dan Szymborski’s bold mock deal sees the Reds shipping slugger Nathaniel Lowe and outfielder JJ Bleday to Cleveland in exchange for catcher Jacob Cozart, outfielder Kahlil Watson, and reliever Franco Aleman. The trade could give both teams a shot in the arm: Bleday’s power fits Cleveland’s pennant push, while Cozart offers the Reds a catcher for the future. But with the Reds likely sellers and Bleday’s value rising amid injury woes, this deal might be more fantasy than fact — unless the Reds are willing to gamble on a future cornerstone.
