Reds Need Bold Moves, Not Hope | Cincinnati Reds News

The Reds can’t just hope their young stars magically turn things around—they need bold moves now. Relying on De La Cruz, McLain, and Steer to carry the team is risky, especially after injuries exposed their fragility. Minor deadline tweaks won’t fix deep roster holes. Like the Brewers, they must trade underperforming pieces, not cling to them. De La Cruz’s ceiling shouldn’t be an 83-win season; the Reds must maximize his prime before he’s gone. A drastic trade—maybe sending Hunter Greene to a contender—could unlock immediate wins. With no CF, shaky catching, and no leadoff hitter, drafting isn’t enough. The time for smart, impactful trades is now. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
