It would be nice to be able to move someone to 1B, though I doubt this is the answer. We are missing that one traditional slugger.
According to CBS Sports' Jon Heyman, the Reds have made Jay Bruce available via trade.
There have been similar rumblings from other sources over the past few weeks. Bruce has a decent .806 OPS with 13 home runs and 42 RBI in 84 games this season, and he's under contract through the 2017 campaign at a fairly reasonable rate ($12 million this year, $12.5 million next year, $13 million option the year after). The 28-year-old should draw interest from a range of teams. Look for the Reds to become major sellers almost as soon as the All-Star festivities conclude at Great American Ball Park.
