The Reds made small improvements at the margins without giving up any key prospects who were set to help them soon.

Cincinnati traded reliever Taylor Rogers, prospect Sammy Stafura and cash to Pittsburgh in return. Jim Bowden of The Athletic named this trade the worst of the trade deadline.

The Cincinnati Reds added starter Zack Littell, Gold Glove 3B Ke'Bryan Hayes and OF Miguel Andujar in 3 trades in the 28 hours before deadline.
