Reds Trade Deadline Pressure Builds | Cincinnati Reds News

The Reds are clinging to hope as they sit below .500 heading into the trade deadline, but a gritty 9-6 win over the Rockies—powered by Tyler Stephenson’s two homers, Sal Stewart’s 20th blast, and Nathaniel Lowe’s three-run shot—shows flashes of potential. Hunter Greene, back from injury and pitching six strong innings, brushed off trade rumors while reminding everyone his focus is on the mound. Manager Terry Francona admits the pressure is mounting as players grow impatient with the losing streak, but the team’s recent offensive surge, especially from Stephenson (.350 in 26 games) and rookie Stewart, could make them trade bait. With the deadline looming August 3rd and a road trip underway, every game matters as the Reds weigh moves on players like Spencer Steer and Chase Burns, who just got a contract extension.
