Oh, and the Mat Latos trade is on hold due to someone's medicals raising a red flag.

I'm gonna guess Jay Bruce. Mets have been scouting him heavily and reportedly offered Zack Wheeler for him last week and got turned down. Reds are said to not be looking to move Bruce, but if the Mets upped their offer they might have reconsidered.
Dunno how I'd feel about Bruce. He'd be an upgrade, certainly. But probably not worth the "OMG HUGE TRADE" hype that's been going around. Also his numbers away from Great American Ballpark are really not that good. He also hasn't played CF since 2008 so assuming he and Grandy are gonna cover the corner OF it'll spend a quick end to Michael Conforto's stint in the big leagues.
