Braves urged to trade for Reds $4.5 million All-Star after surprise demotion

It's been a disappointing season on many fronts for the Atlanta Braves, and the bullpen deserves its fair share of the blame.

All-Star closer Raisel Iglesias has not been up to par, and the rest of the bullpen behind him hasn't been any better. Atlanta's relievers own a 3.94 ERA, which ranks 15th in Major League Baseball, but their -0.1 combined fWAR ranks 27th.

It's always good to be on the lookout for more bullpen talent, especially when a group is struggling. But what sort of help might the Braves realistically be able to find?

According to one baseball writer, the Cincinnati Reds' latest high-profile roster decision could provide the answer.
