Bruce told MLB.com he has not been notified about a trade. No clubs have confirmed that a deal is in the works. Reports surfaced late Monday night that the trade was in jeopardy. ESPN's Buster Olney reported that sources expressed doubt over whether the deal would be completed, while Yahoo's Jeff Passan reported that the deal was on hold due to medical records for one of the other players involved.
"There's nothing to comment on right now," said Reds president of baseball operations Walt Jocketty, who did not rule out a trade at this early stage of camp.
