The Reds are one of the league’s worst teams and going for Trout would be a really large gamble due to the fact that it doesn’t help their biggest need, which is their pitching staff.

But a trade for Trout would boost the Reds’ good offense to a great offense.

The Reds already have Joey Votto, Scooter Gennett, Adam Duvall and Zack Cozart to headline their offense. Imagine adding Trout to that mix. With five guys who can rake as they have been, that Reds lineup would be a killer.

In return, the Reds have highly-touted second overall pick Hunter Greene. They also have a great farm system even after Greene. In Bleacher Report’s post-draft farm system ranking, Greene helped propel them to the eighth-best minor league system.

If the Angels could get the multi-talented Greene as well as other top prospects, they would be set.

It would be a win-win for both sides if this trade went down.
