southsideirish Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 The White Sox and Reds agreed to a deal that would send Ken Griffey Jr. to the White Sox for three minor league prospects. It was then killed by Reds owner Carl Lindner last weekend. If Griffey clears waivers this month the two teams will revisit the trade. The Padres plan to trade third baseman Sean Burroughs to the White Sox this week for AAA OF Joe Borchard The White Sox believe that Frank Thomas' ankle injury will require further surgery that will end his career. All this comes from the BUZZ in this weeks Sports Weekly by Bob Nightengale. I have not seen this posted anywhere yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beck72 Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 OF Chris Young and 1B Rogowski were the centerpieces, along with a fringe prospect [so sayeth Nightengale]. Aren't both on the 40 man, and would have to pass through waivers? [--which they wouldn't] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsideirish Posted August 3, 2005 Author Share Posted August 3, 2005 Sorry, my fault. I thought any mention of a trade for KGJ or Burroughs and Borchard would have been in the trade wind section. Apparently I was wrong. Sorry for double posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And most Sox fans know that we probably don't have enough to win the whole thing. We don't want to just make the playoffs, we want to win the World f***in' Series.
