CHICAGO – The Cincinnati Reds are sitting six games out of playoff spot, entering Wednesday, but they firmly view themselves as buyers at the trade deadline.
The Reds are on the verge of completing their second trade in the last 12 hours by acquiring Colorado Rockies reliever Mychal Givens, according to a report from MLB.com. Givens will be a free agent at the end of the season.
The Rockies will receive minor-league pitcher Case Williams, who was traded from the Rockies to the Reds last offseason, according to MLB.com, and potentially one more minor-league pitcher.
