O'Brien said the club is talking to a pitcher whom the Reds see in a swing role.
"It's someone we could use in a starting role and have pitch in relief as well," O'Brien said. "I'd rather not say who, because we're in the preliminary stages."

"We're still having trade talks," O'Brien said. "It's been a fairly busy week."
