5/07/24 3 early-season trades Reds must make. The start of the 2024 Major League Baseball season has been a roller coaster ride thus far for the Cincinnati Reds and as of late, there have been a lot of unexpected dips. After being swept and failing to score a run against a starting pitcher over the weekend, the Reds are on a five-game losing streak, have fallen two games below .500 and stand just an 18.8% chance to make the playoffs, per Fangraphs. For a team that came into the season with all the excitement of having marketable, talented young stars, the Reds have found themselves in a precarious position. The injuries to Matt McLain and TJ Friedl and Noelvi Marte's suspension chewed away at Cincinnati's depth, while as usual, the team is struggling to field a strong pitching staff at the worst pitcher's park in baseball.
