Cincinnati Reds pitcher Hunter Greene (21) watches from the dugout in the eighth inning of the MLB National League Wild Card Game 2 between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Cincinnati Reds at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles on Wednesday, Oct. 1, 2025. The Reds were eliminated from the postseason with an 8-4 loss to the reining World Series Champions La Dodgers.

Overview

  • An MLB.com scenario outlined Greene as a potential trade chip to add proven offense or free salary after Cincinnati's Wild Card exit.
  • Reds president of baseball operations Nick Krall told reporters the club has not engaged other teams and declined to speculate on any moves.
  • Newsweek highlighted a Sports Illustrated proposal that the Mets could be a fit, with speculation about prospects such as Jett Williams in a significant return.
  • Opinion pieces have also floated the Giants as a suitor, framing packages built around MLB-ready bats as a possible match for Cincinnati's needs.
  • Greene posted a 7-4 record with a 2.76 ERA in 2025 before a rough postseason outing, and the Reds have prioritized improving offense and defense this winter.
