Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports that the Reds and Scooter Gennett "have had minimal talks" regarding a contract extension.
Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reported a couple days ago that it was "doubtful" the Reds would trade Gennett and might sign him to an extension instead. However, Rosenthal is hearing otherwise, writing that "nothing will stand in the way of a trade if that is what Reds decide to do." Gennett is under team control for another season, so Cincinnati isn't under pressure to deal the second baseman soon. However, capitalizing while his stock is high makes sense.
