Brock Burke, Reds teammates brace for 24-hour trade flurry to deadline

Brock Burke, a reliever for the Cincinnati Reds, is preparing for a potential trade before the Aug. 3 MLB trade deadline. Burke has previously been traded twice, including this year, but never at the deadline. The Reds are among several teams in the trade market, looking to make moves before the deadline to improve their chances of returning to the playoffs.

With seven Reds players potentially available for trade, the team is hoping to secure valuable assets that can help them in their pursuit of success. Burke, who turns 30 the day after the deadline, has had a strong season so far, lowering his season ERA to 2.52 in 56 appearances. He is confident and comfortable on the mound, and hopes to make a significant impact in the upcoming postseason.
