Yahoo Sports insider urges Reds to sell before trade deadline

Cincinnati advised to move veteran assets.

Wire Report IntelligenceUpdated Jul 91 min read

What happened: A Yahoo Sports insider urges the Cincinnati Reds to sell ahead of the MLB trade deadline. The advisory pushes the organization to prioritize moving assets over a postseason pursuit.

Why it matters: Cincinnati holds a 41-49 record following a recent loss to the Philadelphia Phillies. Trading away veteran pieces would commit the franchise to a rebuilding phase instead of a marginal playoff push.

By the numbers: The Reds are 41-49 this season and have dropped four of their last five games. The club is currently being outscored by an average of 4.8 to 4.1 runs per game.

What to watch: The Reds host the Philadelphia Phillies in a scheduled matchup as the deadline approaches.
