Major League Baseball's trade deadline is just 10 days away. The Cincinnati Reds are currently 2 1/2 games out of a Wild Card spot. Reds General Manager Brad Meador recently discussed the team's plan to approach the trade deadline for 2025.

BOTTOM LINE: The Washington Nationals begin a three-game series at home against the Cincinnati Reds on Monday. Washington has a 19-30 record in home games and a 39-60 record overall. The Nationals have gone 31-20 in games when they record eight or more hits.

The Cincinnati Reds are reportedly aggressively pursuing upgrades as the Trade Deadline approaches. Eugenio Suarez has been widely reported be available but is it just our hearts as Reds fans that are convincing us this makes sense,
