Reds consider trading Spencer Steer amid rebuilding efforts

The Cincinnati Reds are contemplating a trade involving utility player Spencer Steer as they come out of the All Star break. Steer has underperformed offensively, with a career OPS+ of 102, dipping to an average of 98 over the past three seasons. His expanded role in the outfield due to team injuries may attract interest from clubs seeking a right-handed hitter. Reports indicate that several teams, including the Red Sox and Guardians, are looking for players that fit that profile. Steer's offensive statistics and versatile defense have sparked trade discussions as the Reds continue to reassess their roster.
