I’ve been asked about 972 times what I think the Reds will do at the Tuesday’s trade deadline. My best guess is they’ll trade Matt Harvey and maybe one other player.

But I can tell you this — and it’s not a guess — they won’t upgrade the starting pitching to the point that it makes them a contender in 2019. In other words, those proposed Twitter trades for Jacob deGrom are not going to happen.
