Reds trade interest in breakout Astros outfielder is fading fast

The Cincinnati Reds are seeking a myriad of different ways to upgrade the lineup heading into the 2026 season. The Reds ranked in the bottom-third of the league in several meaningful categories last season, and after missing out on Kyle Schwarber, Cincinnati's front office must find another way to bolster the offense.

One name that came up during last week's Winter Meetings was Houston Astros outfielder Jake Meyers. Though an injury kept the Astros centerfielder sidelined for a couple months, his numbers took a dramatic jump in 2025.

While he was always known for his glove, Meyers' bat finally came around in 2025.
