Cincinnati Reds general manager Nick Krall vowed “we’re leaving no stone unturned” in the days leading up to the Aug. 1 trade deadline.
Whatever he may have meant by that, at the end of the big day all it meant was the Reds were left holding a big bag of rocks while the other contenders in the National League Central filled key roster needs for the final two-month stretch drive.
Maybe Krall will come out looking like a genius when Hunter Greene and Nick Lodolo lead this team on a torrid September finish after they return from the injured list in the next few weeks.
