Cincinnati Reds links - Raisel Iglesias as a waiver trade candidate

Though the non-waiver trade deadline passed on August 1st, that doesn't mean that MLB teams can't still make major additions (or subtractions) between now and the end of the season. The waiver trade period extends until the end of the month of August, and teams have already been active in that market in attempts to bolster potential playoff runs in both leagues. Relievers Hunter Cervenka, Pat Venditte, and Arquiimedes Caminero have already been traded in the waiver period, and even the occasional blockbuster tends to go down when there are major contracts involved - such as the absurd 2012 trade between Boston and the Dodgers that included Josh Beckett, Adrian Gonzalez, Carl Crawford, James Loney, Ivan De Jesus, Jr.
