Report: Cincinnati Reds Discussing Possible Shane Bieber Trade With Cleveland Guardians

Will Cincinnati land the former Cy Young Award Winner?

CINCINNATI — The Reds continue to pursue high-end starting pitchers this offseason. Those talks include Rays ace Tyler Glasnow and American League Cy Young winner Shane Bieber. 

The Reds and Guardians have discussed a possible trade involving Bieber according to Jon Morosi of MLB Network. 

The 28-year-old right hander dealt with forearm and elbow injuries last season, but still posted a 3.80 ERA and pitched 128 innings. 

Bieber became one of the best starting pitchers in baseball during the 2019 campaign, before posting a 1.63 ERA and winning the Cy Young Award in 2020. 

The Cubs are also interesting in the Guardians' ace. He's in the final year of his contract and will be a free agent in 2025. Bieber is projected to make $12.2 million this season, which makes him even more attractive. 

Cincinnati has a nice group of young prospects that they could use to land a pitcher like Bieber. 

Adding him would bring stability and experience to a rotation that includes Hunter Greene, Nick Lodolo and Graham Ashcraft.

The Cubs and Reds are among the teams active in trade conversations for Cleveland’s Shane Bieber and Tampa Bay’s Tyler Glasnow, sources confirm. @MLBNetwork @MLB
