A hypothetical Braves and Reds Trade? Sure, what else we got to talk about? A name change? I kid. I kid. On to the show.
The Reds did a thing in 2019. A sort of middle finger to the teams that were tanking thing. They tried to build a competitive ballclub. They added Yasiel Puig, Matt Kemp, Alex Wood, Tanner Roark, Sonny Gray, Derek Dietrich, and Zach Duke. It didn’t work.
They then traded Yasiel Puig and others to acquire Trevor Bauer with eyes on 2020.
