Passan goes on to say that at this trade deadline, there isn't a player worthy of Greene in the Reds' eyes. He lists Cincinnati's best fit to acquire is Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran, and wonders if Andrew Abbott could fit Boston's asking price. Passan also sees a scenario where the Reds don't do anything nearly as bold.

Over the past few years, since Major League Baseball added the third Wild Card spot, buyers have become more prevalent. For teams like the Boston Red Sox, there's reason to believe that it could hurt and help them.

Passan named the Padres as the best fit for Chicago White Sox slugger Luis Robert Jr. The veteran outfielder is in the middle of a shaky season, but lately, he has been a lot better and has been at the center of trade rumors.
