Ton of smoke about the interest in Goldy coming in to be the veteran presence for the Reds. Couple other clubs looking at him also but the Reds seem to be pushing the hardest. I was dreaming about Pete Alonso but if not Goldy should hit 40 dingers in the band box. Health is the biggest concern for the Reds next season. If everyone is mostly healthy who knows what they can do.

Jose Trevino trade: Yankees send veteran catcher to Reds in three-player deal​

By Dayn Perry

6 hrs ago•1 min read




The New York Yankees on Friday traded veteran catcher Jose Trevino to the Cincinnati Reds in exchange for right-handed reliever Fernando Cruz and catcher Alex Jackson. The Yankees have announced the trade.
Trevino, 32, goes to Cincy coming off a season in which he batted .215/.288/.354 with eight home runs in 73 games as Austin Wells' backup. For his career, Trevino owns an OPS+ of 75 across parts of seven MLB seasons, the last three of which have been with the Yankees. While Trevino isn't a very productive hitter, he's a defensive plus behind the plate when it comes to blocking wayward pitches and pitch framing. In 2022, he won his first and only Gold Glove. With the Reds, Trevino figures to be Tyler Stephenson's backup. Trevino will be eligible for free agency following the 2025 season.
On the Yankees' side of things, the 34-year-old Cruz brings with him a career ERA of 4.52 and an FIP of 3.06 in three seasons. Likely, the Yankees are betting Cruz can be a useful bullpen contributor because of that impressive FIP, which in part reflects his excellent strikeout numbers -- 228 strikeouts in 147 1/3 career innings. As well, Cruz boasts a tremendous wipeout pitch with his splitter against which big-league hitters have been helpless. Last season, he threw the pitch a bit more than 40% of the time, and there's an opportunity to lean into the pitch even more with the Yankees. The Yankees are adept at helping relievers level up, and Cruz seems to have the basic ingredients to do just that.

As for Jackson, who turns 29 on Christmas Day, he has an OPS+ of 27 in 340 plate appearances spread across parts of five big-league seasons.

Reds find Jonathan India replacement in unexpected trade with Dodgers​

It did not take the Los Angeles Dodgers long to move an infielder after signing Hyeseong Kim. The Dodgers are finalizing a trade that will send second baseman Gavin Lux to the Cincinnati Reds for minor league outfielder Mike Sirota and a competitive balance draft pick, reports ESPN. CBS Sports HQ has confirmed the deal.

The Cincinnati Reds! From the top rope! In what's been an active season for the NL Central hopefuls, general manager Nick Krall has pulled off a trade Monday to further propel Cincinnati's contending status in the National League.

Per ESPN's Jeff Passan, Gavin Lux is being traded to the Reds as the Los Angeles Dodgers undergo a roster crunch after the signing of Hyeseong Kim. Previous reports suggested the New York Yankees and Seattle Mariners were the top suitors for Lux.

It's unclear what the return is at this juncture, but it appears as if the Reds came out of nowhere with an offer the Dodgers preferred after talks materialized rather quickly.

Lux will ostensibly be the team's starting second baseman on Opening Day, filling the void left by Jonathan India, who was traded to the Kansas City Royals for Brady Singer a few weeks back.



Reds News: Gavin Lux trade solves Cincy's second base void for 2025

Wait! Here's an update! Apparently the trade details are already out, and the Reds are sending outfielder Mike Sirota to LA ... but that's not all.

According to Jim Bowden of The Athletic, there might be a Reds-Yankees Lux trade in the works. Does this have the making of a three-team trade, or did the Reds just help the Yankees circumvent their recent World Series foes?
