The Cincinnati Reds have ‘engaged’ the Cleveland Indians in a potential trade for All-Star shortstop Francisco Lindor, according to Mark Fiensand of MLB.com.
The Reds are the latest team to engage with the Indians about a potential Francisco Lindor trade, per source. It’s unclear if there’s any traction, but Reds have been aggressive on trade market before (Bauer, Puig) and have attractive trade chips (Senzel, India among them).

Regarding a potential Reds/Indians Lindor deal, don't forget they were involved in a three-team deal that landed Trevor Bauer in Cincy. Indians aren't afraid to move a player in-state and Reds aren't afraid to deal top prospects. Who knows if it will happen, but it's interesting.

Lindor, 26, was the runner-up for American League Rookie of the Year for the Indians in 2015. He’s been an All-Star the last four seasons. Last season he hit .284 with 32 home runs with 74 RBIs. Lindor also is a two-time Gold Glove honoree.
The Reds have added free agents Mike Moustakas (second base) and Wade Miley (starting pitcher) since the season ended.
