If it feels like Jay Bruce has been on the trade market forever, it’s because he has been. The never-ending “will the Reds trade Bruce?” chatter might finally be coming to a close, however.
Cincinnati’s All-Star outfielder is drawing interest from several contenders as Monday’s non-waiver trade deadline approaches. Chief among those teams: The Los Angeles Dodgers.
L.A. has been looking for a reason to move on from Yasiel Puig, and it seems adding Bruce — a left-handed power hitter — is as good a reason as any.
But the Reds don’t appear to be interested in Puig (or they want more than the Dodgers are willing to offer), which would explain the need for a third team.
Except the Rays probably aren’t the third team, according to some reports.
So where else could Bruce land?
In other words, pull some team’s name out of a hat. You might just pick the winner of the Jay Bruce Sweepstakes.
