I think that the Reds would look to trade Jr. after 600 but as mentioned, they need to find someone that is will to make a good offer for him and with him at the end of his career and injury prone, this might not be an easy thing to do. Not to mention that he has a No Trade clause in his contract and I would think that he would require any club that is interested in him to agree to pick up his option for next season.

But if they do trade him, the Reds would have Dunn and Bruce in the corners with Freel, Patterson, Hopper and Hairston (when Kippenger gets better) as their options for center. I'd be pulling for Freel or Hariston to get the position.
