 The Reds and White Sox have agreed on a trade that will send Ken Griffey Jr. to the South Side. No word on what the Reds will get in return as of yet.

The Braves have officially traded first baseman Mark Teixeira to the Angels for fellow one bagger Casey Kotchman. The Braves also picked up right handed pitcher Stephen Marek, a bully for AA Arkansas. This deal is a little disappointing, but only because Marek is 25 years old already and is still in AA.
