Cincinnati Reds Should Try to Swing Trade With Miami Marlins Ahead of Deadline
The Cincinnati Reds are not that far out of a playoff spot and making a trade could help them close the gap. They could call on an old trade partner in the Miami Marlins to check two boxes with one trade.They desperately need outfield help and can use another good arm in the bullpen. The Marlins have a few players that would fill that need. If theDe La Cruz has had a solid season of power and has an amazing arm in the corner outfield. He has 15 homers and has an expected-slugging percentage of .
Scott on the other hand has a pristine ERA, but you must look past that to see why he may be available. His numbers have declined since last year. He sports a walk rate that is in the bottom 2% of the league while his strikeout rate has dropped six points since last year. While his ability to cause swings and misses has declined a bit, his ability to miss barrels remains elite. No one has a better average exit velocity against them than Scott. He also keeps the ball on the ground just under 52% of the time.
To get the two players, the Reds may have to give up one top prospect an one middle of the road prospect. There may also need to be a project player involved to sweeten the deal. I could see a package of Sal Stewart, Lyon Richardson, and maybe Austin Hendrick getting this deal done. Different teams have different scouts which lead to different valuations, so this could be very different, but something like this would most likely work.Postgame Takeaways: Cincinnati Reds fall to Cleveland Guardians 5-3Watch: 16 Years Ago: Ken Griffey Jr. Hits Home Run No.
