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 report from beat writer Mark Sheldon suggested Cincinnati could shop Greene to obtain proven offense or free salary space.
  • Reds president of baseball operations Nick Krall said the club has had no conversations with other teams and declined to speculate on potential moves.
  • Media proposals highlight possible fits with the Mets, Red Sox and Giants, including a FanSided scenario built around Boston outfield help such as Jarren Duran.
  • Greene, 26, posted a 7-4 record with a 2.76 ERA in 2025 before a rough lone postseason outing against the Dodgers.
  • Coverage notes Greene’s reported team-friendly control through 2028 with a 2029 option, as the Reds seek better defense and more offense while leaning on young pitching depth.
