Hunter Greene set for potential last start with Reds before trade deadline
Summary

Hunter Greene is scheduled to make what may be his final start for the Cincinnati Reds on July 31 against Paul Skenes. The Reds are evaluating trade options ahead of the August 3 deadline, with President Nick Krall indicating a shift toward retooling for 2027. Greene, a two-time Opening Day starter, has two guaranteed years remaining on his contract, making him an attractive trade chip. The Reds recently achieved a narrow 3-2 victory over the Pirates, bolstered by strong performances from rookies Rhett Lowder and Sal Stewart. A report suggests there is a 50% chance Greene is traded before the deadline.
