There have been a lot of rumors surrounding Cincinnati Reds pitcher Hunter Greene this offseason.

We have heard publicly from Reds President of Baseball Operations Nick Krall and manager Terry Francona, but Greene himself has not spoken publicly about any of the rumors.

On Sunday afternoon, after the Cleveland Browns beat the Las Vegas Raiders, Shedeur Sanders had a quote after the game that Greene seemed to like.

A lot of people want to see me fail and it ain't gonna happen," Sanders said.

Greene added that quote to his story on Instagram and added the comments, "say it louder for the ones in the back."

The comments clearly back Sanders, but they also feel directed at anyone pushing for a Greene trade this offseason, or anyone still doubting him.

The 26-year-old can relate to the young quarterback because he was on the cover of Sports Illustrated as a 17-year-old. He went on to be drafted second overall by the Reds in the 2017 MLB Draft.

Greene went 7-4 with a 2.76 ERA, a WHIP of 0.94, and 132 strikeouts over 19 starts and 107 2/3 innings in 2025.

Despite the trade rumors, it would be silly to trade Greene. He is on a team-friendly deal and under team control through the 2029 season.
