Reds general manager Jim Bowden's top advisers — Bob Boone, Leland Maddox, Gene Bennett, Larry Barton Jr., Bob Zuk and Gary Hughes — were all at Cinergy Field Tuesday night.

        Scouts from other clubs were at Cinergy as well. The Reds are likely to make a trade before the July 31 non-waiver deadline.

        “I don't think anything will happen tonight,” assistant general manager Doc Rodgers said Tuesday.

        The Seattle Mariners are looking for a hitter. Michael Tucker is reportedly one of the players targeted.

        The Arizona Diamondbacks are looking for a fifth starter until Todd Stottlemyer returns. Steve Parris is reportedly one of the players of their list.

        “There's been a lot of talk,” Rodgers said. “A lot of things percolating.”
