Cincinnati Reds outfielder Ken Griffey Jr. is being traded to the Chicago White Sox, pending his approval, foxsports.com reported Thursday morning.
Griffey, 38, was acquired by the Reds in 2000, after 11 seasons with the Seattle Mariners. While he’s one of the six Major League Baseball players to hit 600 home runs in his career, he’s had to suffer through a streak of losing seasons with the Reds, who haven’t played in a World Series since 1990.
During his career with the Mariners, Griffey led the American League in home runs for four seasons and was voted the Most Valuable Player in the league in 1997. He has a hitting average of .245 for the current season.
A trade could give Griffey his first chance to play in a World Series. The White Sox are in first place in their American League division, with a win-loss record 60-46, or .566.
