The trading deadline is now less than a week away and at 10.5 games back in the NL Central and 9.5 games in the Wildcard race, it may be time for the Reds to turn the page to next season.  General Manager Walt Jocketty has plenty decisions ahead and with such a great core of young talent he shouldn't be in a hurry to go into "blow it all up mode", rather he needs to focus on plugging holes moving forward.

The market for Adam Dunn has been minimal and suitors for Ken Griffey Jr. are pretty much non-existent, but that hasn't stopped the Reds' name from popping in several rumors. Suprisingly, the team has been mentioned as suitors of some relievers on the market.

Let's take a look at some of the latest rumors surrounding the team:

Earlier this week, the San Francisco Chronicle reported theat the Reds have entered the mix for Huston Street, the A's closer. Street is under team control through 2010.  On the other hand, Street could earn more than $5MM next year and the Reds are already paying Francisco Cordero $12MM in '09. Elsewhere, the Baltimore Sun reported on Thursday that the Reds were one of a handful of teams on hand to scout the Orioles' All-Star closer George Sherrill.

Starter Bronson Arroyo has won five consecutive starts and that has some teams interested too. According to the Rocky Mountain News, the Rockies are interested in starting pitcher Bronson Arroyo.  Rooney says the Reds might be willing to pick up some of the $22.5MM owed to Arroyo for 2009-10. FoxSports.com's Ken Rosenthal also reported earlier in the week that the Yankees may explore other trades, and are said to have interest in Arroyo and possibly the Blue Jays' A.J. Burnett.

The Yankees could also be a final desitination for Adam Dunn. Jon Heyman of SI.com speculated that Adam Dunn could be a nice addition for the Yankees, one that might mostly cost just money.
