NEWS FLASH: The Cincinnati Reds have agreed to sign the sensational top-class pitcher from the San Diego Padres to a two-year contract worth $78 million, with the goal of…..

While their general manager has come out and said they are not shopping the 2021 National League Rookie of the Year Award winner, he is the one infielder that makes the most sense to trade in hopes of finding more starting pitching help in 2024.

With Elly De La Cruz penciled in at shortstop and Matt McLain likely taking the duties at second base, India also finds himself battling with backup shortstop Noelvi Marte for playing time in the crowded Reds infield as well.

Add in their recent disagreements in arbitration and it doesn’t bode well for India’s long-term future with the Reds.

India could be dealt to a team like the Seattle Mariners who have plenty of young pitching and need a second baseman. Pitcher Bryan Woo could be the perfect target.

Making his debut last season, the 23-year-old held his own, posting a 4-5 record with a 4.21 ERA including 93 strikeouts in 87.2 innings pitched for the Mariners.

Woo would give the Reds another quality arm to add to a rotation that has been riddled with injuries and he would have a potent, young offense backing him up when he took the mound.

Signing: Bring back power-hitting outfielder Adam Duvall 

While pitching will always be needed when you play in a place like Great American Ballpark, adding a veteran outfielder like Adam Duvall could have a positive impact on the younger players he would be sharing the field with.

A streaky hitter at the plate, Duvall provides serious pop and has already proven to be able to produce in Cincinnati after his tenure with the team from 2015 to 2018 where he had two of his best seasons in the MLB.
