It'll be interesting to see how Bloom approaches the deadline. But in my opinion, it should be the two moves that you mentioned - a lower-leverage reliever to upgrade from Andriese and move Rios down a slot, and then an upgrade at 1B.
That's what I'm hoping for. In my heart of hearts they bring in Anthony Rizzo. He brings on-base ability and some power in addition to good defense and he's great in the clubhouse. Not sure what the cost will be there, but he's only got half a season left on his deal.
