The Reds, losers of seven-straight out of the All-Star break and nine of 11 entering Wednesday’s play, went from definite buyers to speculation they could sell before the Trade Deadline since they hit the skids.
While general manager Walt Jocketty has not been seen lately, Price maintained Wednesday morning that the Reds were still looking to make additions.
“I think we’re looking to get better. I don’t think there is any question about that,” Price said. “I don’t see us as a team that’s looking to 2015. The way we’ve played and the way we’ve battled through the year and stayed competitive and stayed in this thing, knowing there’s a chance we’re going to get Brandon [Phillips] and Joey [Votto] back, that we’ve got a bunch of guys here that fight and are gamers, I don’t think there’s any reason to lose optimism that we can stay in this thing and start to get ourselves closer to the top – where we were right before the break.”
