Proposed trade idea sees Reds landing Angels offensive powerhouse

While the Chicago Cubs made a ton of headlines over the winter, the Cincinnati Reds are still a team that everyone should be paying attention to. 

Coming off a postseason appearance, the club is looking to do so again in 2026. The front office kept itself plenty busy, re-signing Emilio Pagan and acquiring JJ Bleday. 

However, the club's biggest splash over the offseason came when they acquired Eugenio Suarez. The two sides agreed on a one-year deal for him to return to Cincinnati.

Proposed trade ideas sees Reds landing Angels offensive powerhouse 

Suarez is coming off a monster season where he hit .228/.298/.526, tying a career high of 49 home runs while driving in 196 runs, and returning to Great American Ball Park should do wonders for him this season. 

Between him and Elly De La Cruz, fans should be pretty excited. But, if they really want to compete in the division, a trade or two couldn't hurt. 

Bleacher Report's Joel Reuter believes Los Angeles Angels outfielder Jo Adell could be the perfect fit for the Reds. 

"The Reds are low-key scary, as any team that has Chase Burns as a No. 5 starter is one that could be a problem in October. But if they really want to make a Cinderella run, more offense is needed. To this end, they could hope for 40-plus homers from Adell at Great American Ball Park. And while he isn't much of a defender in the outfield, there are few places where outfield defense matters less than Cincinnati."

Adell is coming off a season where he led the Halos offense with a career high 37 home runs. He could be a great addition to help Cincinnati's offense.

He could split his time between one of the corner outfield spots and DH, and the Reds would have full control over him for the next two seasons.
