According to Zack Buckanan of the Cincinnati Inquirer, the Reds are looking to move Ross Ohlendorf, Blake Wood, and Tony Cingrani at the trade deadline. The impetus for moving the three relievers is that they will all be more expensive next year.
Ohlendorf has made 56 apperances going 5-6 with two saves, a 4.27 ERA, a 1.317 WHIP, and a 9.3 K/9.
Wood has made 44 appearances going 5-1 with one save, a 3.42 ERA, a 1.500 WHIP, and an 8.6 K/9.
Cingrani has made 46 appearances going 4-2 with 12 saves, a 3.20 ERA, a 1.267 WHIP, and a 6.4 K/9.
Earlier reports had mentioned the Mets have once again inquired about Jay Bruce. There have been no indications thus far about whether the Mets have also discussed the aforementioned relievers in a deal including Bruce or in a separate deal all together.
While there have been no reports what if any names the Mets and Reds have exchanged, Kristie Ackert of the New York Daily News has stated the Reds have been scouting Kevin Plawecki recently.
