    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>The Reds have agreed to trade Ken Griffey Jr. to the White Sox, pending his approval, SI.com has confirmed. As a 10-and-5 five player, Griffey has the right to reject the deal.

    It's not known what the Reds would receive in exchange for Griffey, who is hitting .245 with 15 home runs and 53 RBIs.

    White Sox general manager Ken Williams has long been an admirer of Griffey's and for years tried to acquire the 38-year-old outfielder.</div>

    John Heyman is reporting that Griffey has accepted.

    Griffey is on his way to Chicago.

    He loves Griffey. Like Williams. They both tried to trade for him before. Remember when Griffey blocked that trade to the Mets?

    Konerko sucks.

    Swisher to 1st. Griffey plugged into the OF where he can do the least damage... defensively that is.

    I'm really starting to like the Dan Patrick show.

    He just let on that Griffey used to call in requesting they stopped playing Jim Edmond clips as it could cost him a gold glove (in the past). LOL

    He loves to dish the dirt.
