Dodgers star Clayton Kershaw rips ‘bush league' Cardinals move
The St. Louis Cardinals brought up bad memories, and Clayton Kershaw has had enough of the ghosts from the past. Before the Dodgers hurler started Sunday's matchup in St. Louis, the Cardinals replayed Matt Adams' three-run home run off Kershaw from the 2014 NLDS, which wound up winning the Cardinals the series in Game 4. Advertisement 'I think it's a little bush league,' Kershaw told reporters after Sunday's 7-3 win. 'But I don't expect anything less from these guys. So, it's no worries.' Clayton Kershaw called the Cardinals 'bush league' after the Cardinals brought up a 2014 NLDS series. AP In that fateful NLDS game, Kershaw cruised through six innings before allowing the first two batters to get on in the seventh inning, when Adams' home run erased a 2-0 deficit and put the Cardinals up 3-2, which wound up being the final score. The low-light was part of a troublesome trend early in Kershaw's future Hall of Fame career when many baseball pundits speculated that the left-hander couldn't win the big game in the playoffs. A 10-time All-Star, three-time Cy Young Award winner and 2014 NL MVP, Kershaw finally got over the hump in 2020, winning the World Series in the pandemic-shortened season. Advertisement Injuries kept him from contributing to a second championship last fall, when the Dodgers defeated the Yankees, and then delayed his start to the 2025 season. Kershaw, 37, wound up getting the last laugh on Sunday, as the vengeful Dodger legend put up his best outing of the season by allowing just one run through five innings, completing L.A.'s three-game sweep of St. Louis. Clayton Kershaw hands his head after being pulled in 2014 NLDS Game 5. Los Angeles Times via Getty Imag Matt Adams celebrates his Game 5 2014 NLDS home run. Getty Images 'The results haven't always been there, but I feel like there's been a little bit of progress in each [start],' he said. 'Probably the biggest thing, I had a little bit better command. In five starts to open 2025 — his 18th with the Dodgers — Kershaw stands at 1-0 with a 4.35 ERA and 1.55 WHIP.

3 Reds who must be on trade block ahead of 2025 deadline
The post 3 Reds who must be on trade block ahead of 2025 deadline appeared first on ClutchPoints. As the 2025 MLB trade deadline approaches, the Cincinnati Reds face a pivotal moment in shaping both their present playoff push and their long-term outlook. With a roster blending rising stars and seasoned veterans, the Reds must weigh whether to buy, sell, or strike a balance. To truly maximize their chances this year and beyond, Cincinnati should consider moving a few active roster players whose value could net meaningful returns. Here are three Reds who must be on the trade block ahead of the 2025 deadline. Noelvi Marte Aaron Doster-Imagn Images Noelvi Marte's time in Cincinnati has been anything but straightforward. Once the crown jewel of the Luis Castillo trade, Marte flashed elite potential in his 2023 debut, posting a .316 average and showing off his power-speed combination. However, a PED suspension in 2024 halted his momentum, and upon his return, he struggled to find his footing, batting just .210 with a subpar walk rate and a concerning 31% strikeout rate. Advertisement The 2025 season began with Marte in Triple-A after a disappointing spring, but a recent surge, hitting .316/.386/.474 gave him his chance in the lineup where he has been batting .294/.342/.515 with 3 home runs and 17 RBIs before was placed on the disabled list. This has reignited his trade value, and with the Reds' infield logjam, he is a major factor in considering a move. With Elly De La Cruz entrenched at shortstop, Matt McLain and Gavin Lux competing for second base, and Jeimer Candelario at third, Marte's future fit in Cincinnati is unclear. Add in the rapid rise of prospects like Cam Collier and Sal Stewart, and the case for moving Marte grows even stronger. Trading Marte now, while his value is rebounding, could help the Reds address other needs, such as pitching depth or outfield production. His youth, upside, and years of team control would appeal to rebuilding clubs or teams looking for a high-ceiling infielder, making him one of the most intriguing trade chips on the roster. Nick Martinez Nick Martinez was brought in to provide rotation depth and veteran stability, and he's largely delivered on that promise. With a one-year deal and a solid track record as both a starter and reliever, Martinez has drawn interest from contenders seeking reliable arms for the stretch run. His versatility, capable of starting or pitching out of the bullpen, makes him a valuable asset for any playoff-bound team. Advertisement For the Reds, Martinez's value lies in his expiring contract and the potential return he could fetch. With Hunter Greene, Nick Lodolo, and Brady Singer anchoring the rotation, Cincinnati could afford to move Martinez if it means shoring up weaknesses elsewhere, particularly in the bullpen or outfield. The Yankees and other contenders have reportedly shown interest, viewing Martinez as a plug-and-play solution for rotation gaps. Dealing Martinez would not only clear salary but also open opportunities for younger pitchers to step into bigger roles. The Reds could target prospects or controllable big-league talent in return, helping to balance their roster for both the present and future. With his contract set to expire and his value peaking, Martinez is a logical candidate to be moved before the deadline. Austin Hays Acquired to bolster the outfield, Austin Hays has provided steady, if unspectacular, production for the Reds in 2025, especially with his stints on the Disabled List. With a contract running through 2026 and a reasonable salary, Hays is an appealing trade target for teams seeking a right-handed bat with defensive versatility. While he's been a useful piece, the Reds' outfield mix remains crowded, especially with TJ Friedl, Will Benson, and the potential for young prospects to earn more playing time. Advertisement Hays' track record as a league-average hitter and solid defender gives him value on the market, particularly for clubs in need of outfield depth. For Cincinnati, moving Hays could free up at-bats for younger players and create roster flexibility, while also bringing back a useful arm or prospect. His affordable contract enhances his trade appeal, making him a prime candidate to be dealt if the Reds look to retool on the fly. With the Reds' offense struggling for consistency and the team hovering around .500, trading Hays could help them address more pressing needs without sacrificing their playoff hopes. His departure would not cripple the lineup, and the return could help solidify the roster for a late-season push. As the trade deadline nears, the Reds must make tough decisions to optimize both their current roster and future competitiveness. Noelvi Marte, Nick Martinez, and Austin Hays represent three active roster players whose trade value could help Cincinnati address key weaknesses, acquire young talent, or clear the way for emerging stars. By moving these players, the Reds can remain competitive in 2025 while building a stronger foundation for the seasons ahead. Related: MLB rumors: 1 team that could shock league before trade deadline

Reds' Terry Francona offers brutally honest update on Hunter Greene injury
The post Reds' Terry Francona offers brutally honest update on Hunter Greene injury appeared first on ClutchPoints. Cincinnati Reds pitcher Hunter Greene has been out hurt with a groin problem, for the second time this season. It now appears the Reds may not get him back anytime soon. Team manager Terry Francona said Greene needs more time to heal than originally expected. Advertisement 'It's going to take a little longer this time,' Francona said, per Reds reporter Charlie Goldsmith. Greene is expected to go through rehab in Arizona. He has been out since June 3, when he made his last appearance on the mound for the club. 'It's not as bad (as what he felt in Atlanta) but it still grabbed,' Greene said after that game about the injury, per the Associated Press. 'It's not concerning, it's frustrating. I want to be out there and compete. I feel like as a pitcher, you do your best when you're in a groove and you're going out there every fifth or sixth day. It just makes it a little bit more difficult when you're trying to overcome some stuff.' This season, Greene has appeared in 11 games. He has a 2.72 ERA and a 4-3 overall record. Greene has recorded 73 strikeouts for the Reds, who are 35-35 on the year. The Reds are staying above water in NL Central race © John Hefti-Imagn Images Francona is in his first season managing a Reds team that has made the best of a difficult season so far. Cincinnati is .500 on the year, despite having to go stretches without their ace Greene. Outfielder Austin Hays has also been out hurt for the team. Advertisement Heading into Saturday, the Reds are seven games behind Chicago in the National League Central. While that's not where they would like to be, Cincinnati is still well within reach of the division lead. It's hard to count out a team with Francona as its manager. Francona has won two World Series titles as manager for the Boston Red Sox. He also has won three American League Manager of the Year awards, with his last one coming in 2022. Back then, Francona was working with the Cleveland Guardians. The Reds play the Detroit Tigers on Saturday. Cincinnati enters the contest having lost back-to-back games, while the Tigers have the most wins in baseball. Reds fans certainly hope they can get Greene back soon.
