Griffey Jr. Traded to White Sox

July 31st, 2008

Ken Griffey Jr.

Ken Griffey Jr. might finally get his chance for that elusive World Series ring.

The 38-year-old outfielder waived his no-trade clause and accepted a deal that will send him to the Chicago White Sox from the Cincinnati Reds for pitcher Nick Masset and infielder Danny Richar.

It’s hard to root against such a class act like Junior, who has managed to stay healthy this season but has struggled at the plate. (.245, 15 HRs, 53 RBIs)

Finding playing time in a crowded White Sox lineup might be a challenge, but he’s a good clubhouse guy and another left-handed bat for the postseason.
