Long accustomed to letdown trade deadlines, the Cincinnati Reds could be nearing another string of deadline deals that fans are dreading. The Reds have been hovering around the .500 mark all season long. Littered with injuries, mediocre season-long performances and question marks in the bullpen, multiple acquisitions are necessary to build a real contender.
