Overview
- Reporting on Thursday, July 30, 2026, said multiple teams have shown “significant interest” in Greene, according to The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal as carried by other outlets.
- Greene’s appeal rests on a 98–100 mph fastball, All-Star-level 2024–25 results and team control through the 2029 season, which makes him rarer on a thin market for starting pitching.
- Since returning from elbow surgery this season Greene has struggled in four starts with a 7.06 ERA, a downturn that complicates his current market value but does not erase his upside.
- The Reds are not especially motivated to trade Greene now, yet Spencer Steer’s placement on the 10-day injured list and Cincinnati’s recent $105 million commitment to Chase Burns change roster calculus ahead of the deadline.
- Any trade would likely require a substantial prospect package, and Cincinnati’s decision will shape whether the club keeps an ace for a 2027 push or uses Greene to accelerate a longer rebuild.
