The Cincinnati Reds began the year on a high note, as they were one of the better teams in the league after a month of play. But they fell off a cliff over the last two months, which has resulted in them finding themselves at the bottom of the National League Central as the trade deadline approaches.The Reds are seemingly looking to sell over the next few days. They have a few valuable assets that could entice contending teams to ship prospects to Cincinnati. One of the Reds' top trade chips is catcher Tyler Stephenson, who sits on the last year of his contract. The Reds could look to re-sign him, but it doesn't seem like they're eager to send him a boatload of money.This season, Stephenson has clubbed eight home runs and is slashing .247/.325/.396. He has an OPS of .720, which makes him a solid offensive backstop.If the Reds opt to trade Stephenson, where could they look to send him?Boston Red SoxJul 11, 2026; New York City, New York, USA; Boston Red Sox pitcher Danny Coulombe (67) celebrates with catcher Carlos Narvaez (75) after defeating the New York Mets at Citi Field.

As a result, they might look to buy instead of sell at the trade deadline.Stephenson is the perfect trade target to fill a massive hole in the Red Sox lineup. They have used Carlos Narvaez and Connor Wong behind the dish, and neither provides them with an average offensive catcher. Adding Stephenson would be exactly the kind of move that could keep the Red Sox in the postseason race.Tampa Bay RaysCincinnati Reds catcher Tyler Stephenson (37) works through catching drills at the Cincinnati Reds Player Development Complex in Goodyear, Ariz., on Monday, Feb. 20, 2023.
