The Sports Weekly report even mentioned specific prospects, indicating that outfielder Chris Young and first baseman Casey Rogowski would have gone to the Reds in the deal.

“In 2005, the White Sox tried to trade three prospects to Cincinnati for Griffey,” Crasnick wrote. “But Carl Lindner, then the CEO of the Reds, reportedly stepped in and vetoed the trade because Chicago wanted Cincinnati to pay 60 percent of the $40 million-plus that was owed to Griffey at the time.”

Damn it Jerry.

Possible butterfly effect: Sox probably don't do the Thome trade, keeping Rowand and Gio.  Anderson can be shipped for a pitcher, probably better than Vazquez.

Rowand would have left for the big money the year after anyway.
