Ryan Wagner (RP), STL

News: According to the Cincinnati Enquirer, with one too many RP for spot available, word among scouts is that the Reds' Ryan Wagner may be available for trade.

Views: The final three bullpen spots are expected to come down to a battle between Matt Belisle, Mike Burns, Todd Coffey and Wagner. Wagner has always done well in the spring, but has never put it together in the regular season. He was 3-2 with a 6.11 ERA last season.

Offensively, the final spot for a position player is down to Andy Abad, Frank Menechino, Jacob Cruz, Quinton McCracken and Brian Buchanan. Talk had been that the Reds would go with the veteran McCracken, thanks to the injury to Dewayne Wise.

What are the Reds thinking? Even with this new ownership in town, they're still apt to make ridiculous decisions.

Milwaukee Brewers are rumored to be offering Ben Hendrickson - not sure this is true though - as it would be an interdivision trade before the season starts. Doesnt seem too likely.
