For those Cincinnati Reds fans hoping the front office would be at the forefront of the trade market, don’t hold your breath. According to MLB.com, Nick Krall seems more interested in getting the organization’s core players back from injury, not making trades in June.

We here at Blog Red Machine are as guilty as anyone throughout Reds Country when it comes to speculation about which players may or may not be available, who is an early-June trade candidate, and whether or not Cincinnati will be buyers or sellers at the July 30th trade deadline.
