MLB Rumors: Jay Bruce Trade Possible As Reds ‘Talking To At Least Four’ Teams
Jay Bruce’s name continues to come up as one of the more talked about players in MLB trade rumors with Monday’s non-waiver trade deadline looming.
The Cincinnati Reds right fielder is a pretty good offensive player. He’s batting .274 with 24 home runs and a National League-leading 78 RBI through 94 games. His 0.7 WAR is a pretty low, though.
Still, it’s no surprise he’s drawing interest.
Bruce has a club option for $13 million next season and will hit free agency if the option isn’t exercised.
The Reds currently sit at the bottom of the National League Central division standings at 39-61, 20 1/2 games behind the first-place Chicago Cubs, so it’s no surprise they’re potential sellers as the trade deadline approaches.
