Trade Deadline winds are blowing stronger with moves starting to happen around Major League Baseball the past couple of days. For the Reds, the time is ripe for catching a breeze to both stay in the postseason hunt and position themselves for dealing before Thursday.
Here is what an MLB insider pitches in a trade that has Eugenio Suarez ending back up with his former team in the Reds.
"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.

The game was tied at two when Elly De La Cruz came up with the bases loaded in the bottom of the seventh inning. The crowd of 39,000+ fans were on their feet chanting "Elly, Elly, Elly." De La Cruz worked a full count before singling to center field to give the Reds a 4-2 lead.
The Reds' hat was blue with a red wishbone "C" intended to call upon Reds uniforms from 1947-54, according to multiple reports. The Rays wore a black hat that contrasted against the navy uniform tops they wore on Saturday. The front of the cap featured Tampa's original "TB" logo from their 1998 expansion season.
