He is one career home run short of Sammy Sosa for fifth place on the all-time home run list
Griffey’s agent, Brian Goldberg, was not immediately available for comment this morning. No word on the terms and who the White Sox have given up. More to follow as information is released.
*UPDATE 1 - Griffey has indeed agreed to the trade, and will be headed to the southside of Chicago. Still no word on what the Reds will receive, but Nick Massett’s name has been thrown in the mix, as well as cash considerations.
