Rays' late-inning stopper could solve Reds' bullpen problem

The Cincinnati Reds clearly on want to bolster their bullpen ahead of the 2025 MLB trade deadline. The Reds already dumped Alexis Diaz in a trade with the Los Angeles Dodgers earlier this season, and they've been trying to fill that spot in the bullpen ever since.

Cincinnati has used pitchers like Lyon Richardson, Luis Mey, and others, but no one seems capable of helping Tony Santillan and Emilio Pagán at the backend of the bullpen. Graham Ashcraft has shown flashes, but the Reds really need reliable addition at the trade deadline to help balance out of the relief corps.
