Reds receive trade interest for utilityman Spencer Steer ahead of deadline

Summary

The Cincinnati Reds are seeing significant trade interest in utilityman Spencer Steer as the MLB trade deadline approaches. The team, likely moving towards a selling strategy, has received inquiries about Steer, who is viewed as a valuable asset due to his versatility and consistent power hitting, including over 20 home runs in several seasons. Steer, 28, under club control through 2028, has a.748 OPS in 90 games this season. With the Reds' playoff chances diminishing, they may consider offers to capitalize on Steer's value before the August 3 deadline.
