I'm not trying to be controversial here . . . they may not need to make a trade, in fact, it might be a panic move.
1) As Nick Krall stated, most teams aren't that interested in trading right now because they still feel that they have a shot. You may have to over pay.
2) They don't need an ace, all they need is someone that can give them five or six competent innings
3) When teams are finally ready to deal . . . The Reds will be getting starters back.
Shortly after the 1st trade deadline hits in a month, this might be the rotation
Hunter Greene - due back in early August
Andrew Abbott
Graham Ashcraft
Brandon Williamson
Ben Lively - haven't heard anything on the pectoral MRI, if not, Weaver.
Also coming back down the road to push Weaver out
Nick Lodolo
Justin Dunn - schedule to throw live batting practice from August 8th until scheduled rehab assignment on August 22nd.
And some relievers
Derek Law - due back as early as July 2nd.
Tejay Antone - schedule to throw live batting practice from July 8th until scheduled rehab assignment on July 19th.
Vladimir Gutierrez - due back in September and expected to be in the bullpen. He'll try for a starter spot again next year.
Also a blurb from June 13th on Tony Santillan
And don't forget that Connor Phillips just got promoted to AAA. It didn't take Andrew Abbott long in AAA, hopefully Phillips rises to the occasion.
Not saying that I don't want them to make a move . . . I'm just saying that I won't lose my mind if they stay within the organization.

Quote:Begins rehab assignment
Santillan (hamstring) began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.
A setback in May delayed Santillan's rehab process, but after a few sessions in the bullpen and during live batting practice, the 26-year-old righty is now approaching a return to Cincinnati. There's no word on how long the Reds plan on keeping him on assignment, though multiple appearances are likely.
