Reds Rumors: Marlins just made ideal trade deadline target available

The Cincinnati Reds may have a golden opportunity to upgrade the outfield at this year's MLB trade deadline. According to MLB insider Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic (subscription required) outfielder Dane Myers is among the players the Miami Marlins are shopping at the deadline.

Myers is a highly-skilled centerfielder who excels on defense. He's been worth 4 defensive runs saved (DRS) and 4 outs above average (OAA) this season. Though players like Will Benson, Jake Fraley, and Austin Hays are above-average defenders, they're nowhere near the level of Myers.

Myers is also highly effective against left-handed pitching — something the Reds have struggled with this season.
