Reds draw significant trade interest in Hunter Greene

Cincinnati sits eight games off the final NL wild card.

Wire Report IntelligenceUpdated Jul 301 min read

What happened: Hunter Greene returned in July after surgery to remove bone chips from his right elbow. He is signed through 2028 with a club option for 2029.

Why it matters: His long-term control and established performance could command elite, major-league-ready talent. A trade would remove the most proven arm from Cincinnati's projected 2027 rotation.

By the numbers: Greene totaled 10.2 bWAR with a 2.76 ERA across 2024-25, ranking sixth in ERA among 78 pitchers with at least 250 innings. He has a 7.06 ERA and 3.20 FIP through four starts in 2026.

What to watch: Clubs have until Aug. 3 at 6 p.m. ET to complete a deal. If Greene stays, his post-surgery form will shape any winter talks.
