The MLB trade deadline is officially underway, folks.
We heard of buzz earlier in the day about the Reds inquiring about Bauer, but many speculated that wasn't a realistic trade considering Cincy isn't exactly in contention and the Indians could still use the right-hander's services given their recent surge.
But here's the deal that's going to get the action started. Baseball never fails to deliver.
