The Cincinnati Reds (53-50), now at two games back of the third National League Wild Card spot entering play of July 25, haven't made a move yet. It remains to be seen if and how the Reds might involve themselves in the trade-deadline activity.

Here is what an MLB insider pitches in a trade that has Eugenio Suarez ending back up with his former team in the Reds.

With the MLB trade deadline looming, the Arizona Diamondbacks have traded first baseman Josh Naylor to the Seattle Mariners in exchange for two pitching prospects. The Mariners sent their 13th-ranked prospect Brandyn Garcia and their 16th-ranked prospect Ashton Izzi in return, both pitchers.

The Cincinnati Reds came out of the All-Star break, won two games and were just 1 1/2 games behind the final wild-card position

Nick Lodolo went the distance and kept the Cincinnati Reds as the only team in the majors that hasn’t been swept this season.

"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.

This was not a playoff team in October. Or a contender in September. This was the bad-bullpen, meh-lineup Nationals playing for nothing in July.

And just like that: Garrett Crochet equals Tarik Skubal in ERA (2.19) and has one more strikeout (165). After All-Star hubbub, Cal Raleigh has a quiet weekend, with two singles in 13 at-bats. New owner looks like a far surer bet than new stadium. They finally hit – 27 knocks in three games – yet are still swept at Toronto.

Reds manager Terry Francona pulled off a HILARIOUS prank on his former player and Rays manager, Kevin Cash, showing him strike out videos.
