Rays fan blog DRaysBay names Reds left-hander Nick Lodolo as a possible offseason trade target.
The writer says Lodolo's recent injuries and middling results could create a buying opportunity, depending on whether Cincinnati is willing to move him and at what prospect cost. His projected 2027 salary is $5.7 million, and the post notes his breaking-ball location consistency declined in 2026 after a July grip change.
