Reds Targeting Retool Over Rebuild At Trade Deadline
Cincinnati's -63 run differential and 16.5-game deficit to Milwaukee make them clear sellers, but Chase Burns (2.42 ERA, 124 SO, 12-1) offers contending teams a sub-3.00 arm at the deadline. The Reds' rotation has exactly one above-average starter, making Burns their only legitimate trade asset to address a pitching staff allowing 486 runs—sixth-worst in baseball.
