The rumors connecting Kyle Schwarber to the Cincinnati Reds aren't going away any time soon, but as much as fans can dream, the fit isn't there. Schwarber simply won't fit in the Reds' budget unless ownership does a massive about-face, and even then, the likely draft pick compensation that will be attached to him, as well as his DH-only positional abilities, make him a questionable fit at best.
Instead, another Ohio native, who is actually a picture-perfect fit might hit the trade block in the form of Los Angeles Angels outfielder Taylor Ward.
Taylor Ward is a great fit for the Reds and a trade mostly makes sense
What the Reds need more than anything is a power bat.
