Ken Griffey Jr. traded to Chicago White Sox


Well folks, Ken Griffey Jr. has been traded to the Chicago White Sox. While the trade is not yet official, the Reds made the deal this morning. Since Jr. has 10 years in the Major Leagues and 5 years with the same team, he has the option to veto the trade. With all the recent back and forth between him and Reds broadcaster Jeff Brantley, he may just head on out to Chi-town.

Griffey Jr. is hitting .245 this season with 15 home runs and 53 RBIs. On Wednesday night, he hit home run 608 against the Astros, placing him 1 home run shy of Sammy Sosa for 5th all-time.
