The Reds were among the finalists in trade talks to land Garrett Crochet from the White Sox according to Bob Nightengale of USA Today.

The left-hander was traded to the Red Sox on Wednesday.

The three other finalists were the Yankees, Braves and Phillies.

The Reds continue to look for ways to improve their team via trades.

“It’s who fits the best," Reds President of Baseball Operations Nick Krall told Mark Sheldon. "You have to fill a team both financially and positionally. So [we just have] to figure out who the best fit is. And if it's a trade, you also have to give something up. We’re trying to make trades."
