maggsmaggs Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 In this week's Baseball Weekly, Bob Nightengale said that the Sox and Reds had agreed to trade Casey Rogowski, Chris Young and a fringe prospect for Junior. The Reds would have paid $4.5 million of his annual $13 million every year. This trade was agreed upon the night of July 29th, but the Reds ownership vetoed it. Also, Junior apparently let friends know he would have waived his 10 and 5 rights and accepted the trade. Another nugget from Nightengale is that Padres plan to trade Sean Burroughs to the Sox this week for Borchard. One Final nugget is that Nightengale says the White Sox believe Thomas' new ankle injury is career ending. **This is all in Bob Nightengale's new article and buzz section of USA's Baseball Weekly. I don't understand either of the moves, we have a log jam in outfield and where would Griffey have played. Also, Burroughs? We have Crede and Blum, unless we plan to put Burroughs in the minors. I also read in the Trib a couple of days ago that KW said he had a blockbuster, but it was vetoed. All this is very interesting. Discuss.

Mr. Showtime Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Reds are horrible. Anyway, never know what else would've went down had this trade gone down. Maybe Carl or Paul would've been moved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish the "seller" teams were able to go about business the right way this deadline. Maybe we'll get him off waivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
