Heck, the Reds could even call the Marlins if they wish to upgrade the bullpen. I know there’s hope with the eventual returns of Lucas Sims and Tejay Antone, but at some point, reinforcements need to be called upon. That said, perhaps Cincinnati should continue to roll with Farmer at shortstop and focus more on improving their volatile bullpen. And the Reds badly need a shortstop, Rojas or Nick Ahmed- Peter Gammons July 26, 2021 Marlins working on moving Marte, Duvall, relievers.but when teams like Reds ask on Miguel Rojas, they continue to decline. Rojas’ 102 OPS+ and team-friendly contract are clear reasons why the 32-year-old popped up on the Reds’ radar.

It shouldn’t come as a shock to many that the Cincinnati Reds are looking for a starting shortstop, though Kyle Farmer has played well of late. The Reds trade rumors suggest Cincinnati is still looking for an upgrade at SS. That seems a bit rich for a team that has a major league-ready shortstop like Jose Barrero on the cusp of breaking into the big leagues. Yes, Ahmed is talented defender and two-time Gold Glove Award-winner, but the 31-year-old is under contract through 2023 and has $17.5M remaining on his current deal. Making a deal for Ahmed, however, seems a bit silly if you ask me. Gammons believes perhaps Arizona shortstop Nick Ahmed could be available if Cincinnati were so inclined to do business with the Diamondbacks.

Gammons suggests that the Reds and any other team that may inquire about the availability of Rojas will be told to look elsewhere. Gammons reported that the Miami Marlins are looking to move outfielders Adam Duvall and Starling Marte but declined to entertain a trade offer from the Cincinnati Reds for Miguel Rojas. The latest Reds trade rumors come courtesy of The Athletics’ Peter Gammons who suggests that Cincinnati attempted to trade for a shortstop, but were rebuffed.
