As they sit just 3 1/2 games out of a playoff spot, the Cincinnati Reds have been urged to make a blockbuster trade and reunite with their former third baseman.

This was not a playoff team in October. Or a contender in September. This was the bad-bullpen, meh-lineup Nationals playing for nothing in July.

Could the Miami Marlins and Cincinnati Reds hook up on a potential blockbuster trade before the MLB trade deadline?
