For Cincinnati, the theme due to the record is perennially different than most longstanding franchises. They are the league’s garage sale and outside of a few years here and there, the talent on the Reds’ roster is for a contender’s choosing should they be able to pay the price.
The Dodgers have been far from bothered by the Reds’ constantly open market and have shamelessly completed six trades with them since 2010 and a seventh if you were to include the Aroldis Chapman trade that never came to fruition due to legal matters surrounding Chapman at the time.
