Well, you can go with Michael Morse; or you can go with Jason Bourgeois.
The Reds did pick up Jim Edmonds once, late, but usually entrusted their bench to journeymen.
The Pirates, also a smaller market team, have been willing to supplement the bench with players of better quality when they have a chance to win.
Edmonds was not a legit pickup when the Reds acquired him. He could barely walk.
A good example of a late-season pickup is Billy Doran by the '90 Reds.

Not sure why Matheus is pitching now, throws a wild pitch, Bucs threatening. Could have used Hoover I guess, two outs in the seventh. Whatever.
Good pitch by Mattheus to strike out the aforementioned Morse. On to the eighth.
Great ballgame, LOL, with Reds still having a chance to win.
Wow, run(s) didn't score. Maybe the Reds will win this one.
“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”

Very soon the Rockies - Giants game will be underway.
Just imagine the excitement of the sports world with the Reds, Braves, and Rockies competing for draft position all playing at the same time.
