The Reds should find a way to give up Tyler Mahle, not Sonny Gray.
While teams are making moves in the news and on their rosters, (looking at you, Padres), the Cincinnati Reds are under the expected annual microscope to make moves this offseason. This slide however brings with it the pressure and expectations to improve following an early playoff exit in a compressed 2020 season.
While pitching continues to be a main focus, the talk of this rotation’s two-headed monster in Luis Castillo and Sonny Gray possibly departing is not settling the nerves with Reds fans.
