Reds Inquiring On Oswalt

13

According to FOX Sports Midwest, the Reds are interested in Oswalt and have both the payroll flexibility and the prospects to make a deal. This is contrary to other recent reports that the Reds were planning to not make any major moves at the deadline. But things can change quickly, and the Reds could use a true ace for the top of their rotation, so I wouldn't be surprised. If the Astros have to trade within the division, Cincinnati seems a much better match than St. Louis, since they are generally considered to have the better farm system of the two clubs.
