The Reds are at a crossroads as the trade deadline nears, with a struggling roster likely to become sellers—but two stars, Elly De La Cruz and Hunter Greene, are untouchable. De La Cruz, a rising shortstop with three more years of team control, is too valuable to trade, especially when his development is still accelerating. Greene, the ace pitcher returning from injury with three more years of control, is equally essential to the future rotation. Trading either would be a costly mistake—better to build around them, not gamble on short-term gains.
