It’s August 6th, and the 2019 Cincinnati Reds aren’t just still relevant, they might well be playing their best baseball of the season. And, they’re doing so despite having just traded away Scooter Gennett, Yasiel Puig, and top prospect Taylor Trammell just last week.
The fact is, the Reds won 3 series in a row prior to heading to Atlanta to face the red-hot Braves, and managed a split down there in some pretty well played baseball. Now, they’re trying to put away the fighting Mike Trouts, and are actually doing a pretty good job of doing just that.
