MLB Analyst Suggests Alexis Díaz Could Be Prime Trade Candidate for Cincinnati Reds
The Cincinnati Reds are aiming to strengthen their outfield this offseason, and one possible way to achieve that could be by trading closer Alexis Díaz to add a power bat to the lineup.
Mark Feinsand of MLB.com identified one player from each MLB team who could be traded, and he believes Díaz is a strong candidate for a deal. Feinsand highlighted Díaz’s solid performance in 2024, where he successfully converted 28 of 32 save opportunities. Although his strikeout rate dropped from 30.1% to 22.7% and his walk rate remained high (12.8%), he’s still just 28 years old and would attract interest from teams in need of bullpen help. Feinsand suggests that the Reds would likely seek Major League talent in return rather than prospects, making Díaz a valuable trade asset.
It will be intriguing to see what kind of return the Reds could get for Díaz. If trading him could land a power hitter to bolster the lineup, it’s definitely an option worth considering.
