According to Ken Rosenthal of FoxSports.com, Ken Griffey, Jr. has accepted the trade to the Chicago White Sox. As a 10/5 player, Griffey had the right to veto any trade. Early reports are that the Reds are getting back relief pitcher Nick Massett and Triple-A 2B/SS prospect Danny Richar.
In addition, the Reds will be picking up half the tab, approximately $4 million, on the remainder of Griffey's contract for this season. Neither Masset, nor Richar are listed by Baseball America as one of the Top 10 prospects in the White Sox farm system. Sound like the Reds decided it was just time to cut bait and move on, no matter the haul they were able to get in return.
