Neither of the past two trade deadlines had much action for the Reds, and it might not be that different of a story in 2025.

Cincinnati Reds LHP Wade Miley pitched five strong innings in the Reds' series-clinching win over the MLB-best Detroit Tigers Sunday.

When the Boston Red Sox acquired Alex Bregman to be the starting third baseman, they had hoped that Rafael Devers would be open to the move to designated hitter. Instead, Devers openly complained about the move to DH and started the season on a near-historic slump.

Yet, despite the disappointing result, the Tigers remain atop the American League Central, several games ahead of the second-place Minnesota Twins. The Reds are still fourth in the National League Central, but are doing their part to close the gap on a Wild Card spot.

Most MLB mock drafts have consistently linked the Cincinnati Reds with high school pitcher Seth Hernandez. Baseball America, however, has a different view.

The Reds did tack on three too-little, too-late runs in the ninth when De La Cruz doubled home Santiago Espinal to make it 11-3, then Tyler Stephenson doubled in two more runs to make it 11-5. De La Cruz was 3-for-4, raising his average to .267.
