At 49-46 heading into Wednesday’s matinee with the New York Mets, the Cincinnati Reds are on the edge of contention for a National League Wild Card spot. Currently sitting five games out of the postseason, the Reds will need to find something to ignite a run to the postseason. Could that “something” be Colorado Rockies shortstop Trevor Story?
According to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic (subscription required), how the Reds fare between now and the trade deadline (July 30) could well determine how active they get in the trade market and if they make a play for Story or other Major League players who could fit their needs.
