Reds get rare shot at affordable power after Rays cut once-dangerous division bat

The Cincinnati Reds need to find some pop this offseason. While there are other needs, the lack of power in the lineup is the biggest impediment to the team taking the next step after 2025's surprising Wild Card berth.

The dream would be Kyle Schwarber, and while it's not likely, there's a creative way to get there. More than likely, the Reds are scouring the trade market for their next big bat, and looking somewhere in the Jo Adell tier, though the Los Angeles Angels outfielder looks less likely. Still, a player of that ilk should be up Cincinnati's alley.
