The best player available for the stretch run might already wear Red.
Â
It's that time again. With less than 48 hours until Tuesday's non-waiver trade deadline, Reds fans are all wondering - what moves will the team make?
In recent days, the Reds have been rumored to be in
discussions for the Phillies’ Shane Victorino and Juan Pierre, the Twins’
Denard Span, and as recently as Sunday were linked to Cleveland’s Shin-Soo
Choo.
Here’s a huge question that general manager Walt Jocketty
must answer – is it worth trading away what’s left on the farm for the names
currently on the market?
Â
After the Reds’ deals for Mat Latos and Sean Marshall
in the off-season, the Minor League cupboard is mostly bare. The team has a few
interesting prospects in guys like Billy Hamilton, Daniel Corcino, Tony
Cingrani and last year’s first-round pick, Robert Stephenson. The rest of the
Reds’ prospects could only be really considered throw-ins in ...

Worst deadline deals made by Reds in recent memory
Lohse is a guy the Reds would have liked to keep
In honor of the July 31st trade deadline that's fastly approaching, I've compiled a list of some of the worst deadline deals made by the Reds in recent memory. Click here to view a post highlighting the best deadline deals in recent memory. This post only includes trades made in July, so any made outside of that period...
Ludwick's two homers power Reds past Rockies in a Coors Field special
Contrary to Friday, Saturday's affair between the Reds (60-40) and Rockies (37-62) featured offense aplenty. The two teams combined for 22 hits and 16 runs, however, Cincy wound up on the smiling side of the scoreboard by a tally of 9-7 to stretch their season-high winning streak to nine.
Johnny Cueto certainly didn't have his best stuff on this night, but he got...
Game 101: Reds 7, Rockies 2
The Reds’ remarkable play continued last night as they beat the Rockies 7-2.
Mat Latos pitched a helluva game, going 8.0 innings and allowing 2 runs on 4 hits and 3 walks. Not bad for the thin air of Colorado, and far better than he really needed to do with all the offense that came out in support of him. Sam LeCure pitched the ninth and gave up 2 hits and a walk, but no runs...
Reds C Mesoraco ejected, bumps ump
Reds catcher Devin Mesoraco was ejected for arguing a pitch call by plate umpire Chad Fairchild, then poked at his chest protector and bumped him before leaving the field.
Mesoraco objected when Fairchild called a close pitch a ball with San Diego's Chase Headley at bat in the third inning and the Padres leading 9-3. The rookie catcher stood up, removed his mask and argued,...
Longtime voice of the Reds to shave head as part of promise
It's been said before, you don't make promises that you can't or don't intend to keep. One person who's undoubtedly rehashing this in their mind right now is none other than longtime radio broadcaster Marty Brennaman. This is because the 70-year old wound up on the losing end of a promise on Sunday and must now hold up his end of the bargain, which...

Bailey's goal - start another long win streak
The Cincinnati Reds' longest winning streak in 13 years came to a crashing halt.
With the way Homer Bailey has been pitching coupled with his history against the San Diego Padres, there's reason to believe the NL Central leaders can bounce back Tuesday night at Great American Ball Park.
Cincinnati (61-41) entered Monday's opener winners of 17 of 19 and with victories...
Votto continues to progress in rehab
Joey Votto moved a step closer to returning Monday when he began baseball activities. How close, he couldn't say. "It's hard for me to tell," Votto said before the Cincinnati Reds' 11-5 loss to San Diego. "I feel like I've made subtle improvements every day. But (the medical staff) has a lot of very positive things to say." Votto, who had arthroscopic...
Pirates Aren't the Only Ones Improving
The Pirates are looking up at the Cincinnati Reds in the National League Central. Since July 6, the Reds have a league best record of 16-2. They have won nine straight games and have an easy schedule to boot. Fortunately, the Pirates have been able to take advantage of their own weak schedule and are 12-6 in that same time period, and are 10-5 since the all-star break. Cincinnati...
Votto-less Red Win 9th in a Row
Earlier this month the Reds position in first place was threatened when slugger Joey Votto went on the DL for knee surgery. Last night's win at Colorado extended a winning streak to nine games before they go for a third consecutive series sweep Sunday. Over that time their runs/game have increased 25% as multiple players in the lineup have stepped up to pick up the slack from his absence.
RLW Episode 20 – Credentialed
David and Seubs were very fortunate this week to be granted access to the pressbox at Fifth Third Field in Toledo, OH as the Louisville Bats visited the Mudhens. Unfortunately we recorded this BEFORE both the Reds and Bats lose Monday night. We still had an awesome time and thanks to Matt Andrews the play-by-play voice of the Bats for letting us hang out with him.
In this weekâ€...
Former Reds return to haunt their old team as Cincy's streak snapped at 10
All good things eventually come to an end, right? That was precisely the case for the red-hot Reds (61-41) on Monday as they saw their 10-game winning streak come to an end in a 11-5 defeat to San Diego (44-60).
It was a homecoming of sorts for Edinson Volquez, Yasmani Grandal and Yonder Alonso -- who were all traded away by Cincy in exchange for Mat Latos during the offseason...

Game 102: Padres 11, Reds 5
It was the kind of shelling the Reds haven’t been the victim of in a long, long time. The Padres put their runs on the board so early that the optimistic among us kept thinking the Reds might come back, but ultimately we all ended up feeling kind of sheepish after getting nothing in return for all our hoping.
Mike Leake started for the Reds and ouch. 1.2 innings of work, including...
Reds' win streak ends with loss to Padres
CINCINNATI (AP) -- Will Venable drove in four runs with a single and a bases-loaded triple Monday night, and the San Diego Padres emphatically ended one of the longest winning streaks in Reds history with an 11-5 victory that brought out the worst in Cincinnati.
Former Reds played starring roles in stopping their 10-game streak. Edinson Volquez (7-7) got the win, and Yonder Alonso...
