Cincinnati Reds links - Walt Jocketty wants 'legitimate prospect' in Jay Bruce trade

Cincinnati Reds former current not actually but sorta somewhat kinda GM Walt Jocketty is willing to trade the Jay Bruce that's hitting over .270 with 25 dingers and a league-leading 79 ribbies so far in 2016. Unfortunately, it appears that many of the teams that have some level of interest in acquiring the Reds stalwart RF are pricing in the .695 OPS Bruce produced over a 294 game stretch between 2014 and 2015 to their offers, and they also just might have glanced once or thrice at the hideous UZR and DRS numbers Bruce has been docked with so far in 2016.
