The Cincinnati Reds may not need to make any trades during this season's trade deadline. The pitching is the only area of concern, but the starting rotation has improved recently. Luke Weaver, Brandon Williamson, and the imminent return of Ben Lively may be more than enough to hold the Reds over until Hunter Greene and Nick Lodolo return. With Andrew Abbott and the resurgent Graham Ashcraft, this rotation may not need reinforcements. What do you think of the Reds heading into the trade deadline?
