The Reds made small improvements at the margins without giving up any key prospects who were set to help them soon.

The Brewers (64-43) hold the best record in baseball, followed by the Los Angeles Dodgers (63-45) and New York Mets (62-46) as the division-leaders, and the Cubs (62-45), Philadelphia Phillies (61-46) and San Diego Padres (59-49) rounding out the wild-card standings.

With the MLB trade deadline just hours away, the Reds have made some big moves already, and need to make one more.
