MLB Rumors: Mariners-Reds trade could help both teams reach playoffs

The Seattle Mariners and Cincinnati Reds are in a position to help each other out — a mutually beneficial transaction, if you will. Seattle is looking for a second baseman and may be eyeing Reds star Jonathan India, the 2021 Rookie of the Year with tremendous power and speed.

Cincinnati could use pitching help and may be eyeing Seattle star Bryan Woo in return.

Now, according to The Athletic’s Bowden, Seattle has no interest in widely shopping Woo. However, the Mariners may consider a direct buyer-to-buyer trade with Cincy: India for Woo.

"The Mariners are not shopping [Woo], but a buyer-to-buyer type trade for Reds second baseman Jonathan India is possible."

It was recently speculated that the Reds would trade India for “young, controllable starting pitching“; Woo, one of Seattle’s top prospects, may theoretically fit the bill.
