Junior Heading to the South Side

Ken Rosenthal reports that Ken Griffey Jr. has accepted the trade from the Reds to the White Sox. In exchange for Junior, the Reds will receive pitcher Nick Masset and infielder Danny Richar. Cash will be exchanged as well, but the details are not yet disclosed.

With Jermaine Dye and Carlos Quentin in the outfield, and Jim Thome as DH, the White Sox will probably move Nick Swisher to 1st base, thereby descreasing Paul Konerko's playing time.
