The Cincinnati Reds are still waiting to hear the results from Hunter Greene's MRI. The team's presumed Opening Day starter is now likely now begin the season on the IL, and depending on the severity of the injury, he could be out of action for several months.
Greene's name came up early and often in trade rumors during the offseason, but once those were dismissed, the media turned their attention to Brady Singer. At the time, he was team's highest-paid player, as Cincinnati had yet to add Eugenio Suárez to the roster.
The idea behind a Singer trade was to shed his $12 million salary for the upcoming season while at the same time adding a power bat to the lineup.
