This article was originally published on www.si.com/mlb/reds as MLB Analyst Point to Cincinnati Reds Infield Prospect as Top Trade Chip . Major League Baseball's trade deadline is less than a week away. Mark Feinsand of MLB.com went through each MLB team and provided his best trade chip for each club.
Trade Deadline winds are blowing stronger with moves starting to happen around Major League Baseball the past couple of days. For the Reds, the time is ripe for catching a breeze to both stay in the postseason hunt and position themselves for dealing before Thursday.
The Seattle Mariners and New York Yankees are the most aggressive teams pursuing Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suarez, with a handful of others still in pursuit, according to USA TODAY's Bob Nightengale.
"They could offer Arizona two of the following three pitching prospects - lefty Adam Serwinowski, righty Ty Floyd, righty Luke Holman, or one of those pitcher along with middle infielder Peyton Stovall or infielder/outfielder Tyler Callihan who is currently on the injured list," Bowden wrote.
The Reds have been a different team when Austin Hays has been healthy. He lengthens out the lineup as a right-handed bat with punch, and he has as good of an idea of what he wants to do at-bat to at-bat as you’ll see.
The cheaters are better remembered than the winners, the sinners better recalled than the saints. The Cincinnati Reds of 1919 are the most overlooked World Series champions in history.
"You've just got to find some momentum," Rays center fielder Chandler Simpson said. "Really just banding together. Leaning on each other. Passing the baton. Just knowing that if one guy doesn't do it, the next guy will pick him up." Injuries have started to take a bite out of Tampa Bay's lineup.
