Fantasy Baseball Winners and Losers from the MLB Trade Deadline

The trade deadline has come and gone, leaving fantasy managers wondering how some of their rostered players' values have changed. While it's obvious for players like Juan Soto joining a powerhouse offense, that's not the case for many and even some who didn't change teams may see their rest of season value go up or down. […]

Hunter Greene Goes On Injured List With Shoulder Strain

The Cincinnati Reds placed right-handed rookie Hunter Greene (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list on Friday with a right shoulder strain and recalled right-hander Ryan Hendrix from Triple-A Louisville in a corresponding move. The move to place Greene on the injured list is retroactive to Aug. 4. There is no timetable for the 22-year-old's return, […]

Tyler Mahle Traded to the Twins - Fantasy Baseball Impact

On a trade deadline day with surprise moves big and small, one of the most predictable was that the Cincinnati Reds traded away Tyler Mahle. On Tuesday, he was traded from the Reds to the Minnesota Twins for three prospects: infielder Spencer Steer, left-hander Steve Hajjar, and infielder Christian Encarnacion-Strand. Mahle has had several seasons […]

Kyle Farmer On The Bench Wednesday

Cincinnati Reds infielder Kyle Farmer isn't in the starting lineup for a matchup with the Miami Marlins and right-handed starter Sandy Alcantara on Wednesday. Farmer is batting .248 with a .322 on-base percentage, six home runs, and four stolen bases in 352 plate appearances this season. He'll head to the bench with Jose Barrero starting […]

Reds Recall Jose Barrero

The Cincinnati Reds recalled shortstop Jose Barrero from Triple-A Louisville on Wednesday. One of the organization's most promising prospects, Barrero made his Major League debut for the Reds last season, hitting .200 with a .286 on-base percentage and a stolen base in 56 plate appearances. So far in 2022, the 24-year-old is batting .209 with […]

Florio's MLB Bullpen Report: Making Sense of Reliever Trades for Fantasy Baseball

For weeks, I spoke about the MLB trade deadline and how the bullpen position was greatly going to be impacted. And for weeks all that there was… were crickets. But, in classic trade deadline fashion, it did not disappoint, at least not when it came to a reliever shake up.  We saw a number of […]

Padres Acquire Brandon Drury From The Reds

The San Diego Padres are acquiring infielder Brandon Drury from the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday, according to sources. It's unclear what the Padres sent to the Reds in exchange. Drury has seen the vast majority of his playing time in Cincinnati this year on the infield, mainly at the hot corner, but he has experience […]

Tyler Mahle Going To The Twins

The Minnesota Twins acquired starting pitcher Tyler Mahle from the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday in exchange for shortstop Spencer Steer, third baseman Christian Encarnacion-Strand and pitcher Steven Hajjar. Mahle will certainly bolster the Twins rotation as they look to make a deep postseason run this year. The 27-year-old right-hander has gone 5-7 with Cincy this […]

Luis Castillo was traded from the Cincinnati Reds to the Seattle Mariners in exchange for four prospects: SS Noevli Marte, SS Edwin Arroyo, RHP Levi Stoudt, and RHP Andrew Moore.

Twins, Phillies Interested In Tyler Mahle

The Minnesota Twins and Philadelphia Phillies are among the teams interested in Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Tyler Mahle, an underrated pitcher that has been very good of late. The rebuilding Reds dealt ace Luis Castillo to the Seattle Mariners last week for a big prospect haul, and they probably aren't done trading before Tuesday's deadline. […]

Spencer Stockton Bounces Back With Two Dominant Outings

Cincinnati Reds pitching prospect Spencer Stockton went undrafted out of Jacksonville in 2019 but has climbed through the lower ranks of affiliated ball since signing with the club. The right-hander, who has seen some rotation work but mostly pitches out of the bullpen, has been fantastic this season, allowing more than two runs in just […]

Hunter Greene Shuts Out Marlins Across Six Innings

Cincinnati Reds starter Hunter Greene pitched one of his best games on Monday, earning his fourth win of the year after holding the Miami Marlins to no runs through six innings of the eventual 3-1 victory.

Red Sox Acquire Tommy Pham From Reds

The Boston Red Sox acquired outfielder Tommy Pham from the Cincinnati Reds on Monday. It's unknown what the Reds are receiving in return. The Red Sox also sent catcher Christian Vazquez to the Houston Astros on Monday, so the Red Sox appear to be trying to walk the buy/sell tightrope this year. It remains to […]

Nick Lodolo Turns In Solid Start On Sunday

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Nick Lodolo logged a solid start on Sunday against the Baltimore Orioles. The left-hander allowed just four hits, two walks and an earned run in six innings against Baltimore, striking out seven batters in the process. All told, Lodolo generated 17 swinging strikes on 98 pitches and finished with a 28% […]

Brandon Drury Not Certain To Be Traded

Cincinnati Reds infielder Brandon Drury, who is drawing interest from multiple teams at the trade deadline, isn't certain to be traded this summer. The Reds might be interested in exploring an extension with Drury, who turns 30 on Aug. 21 and hit his career-high 20th home run as a pinch-hitter on Sunday. The Reds could […]
