I figured we should save the front-page post for Mariner trades/non-trades. If not, then ignore this.

Griffey has apparently been picked up by the White Sox. Take it away, Ken.

The Reds have traded Griffey to the White Sox, pending his approval. Griffey will decide Thursday morning whether he will approve the deal, according to a source with knowledge of the situation. It is not known what the Reds would receive in return.

It's a questionable move for the Sox, as I don't really see a fit there and he sucks, but I see no reason why he'd veto the trade.

EDIT: AHAHAHAHAHAHA

The White Sox, leading the American League Central by a game and a half, would use Griffey mostly in the outfield, the source said. ...The Sox are set at the corners with Carlos Quentin in left and Jermaine Dye in right. They could play Nick Swisher at first to open center for Griffey, a move that would reduce the playing time of first baseman Paul Konerko

Well, Detroit and Minnesota, here's your opportunity. Seriously how dumb can a first-place team be? Griffey in CF???

The [FALL DOWN STAIRS] of a trade involving Manny, Bay, and the Marlins has not been agreed upon yet. Miami Herald:

But a person with knowledge of the negotiations told The Associated Press early Thursday there was no tentative agreement. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because talks were ongoing, with the trade deadline looming Thursday afternoon.

Hopefully the Marlins are coming to their senses. If not, the Sox are getting quite a steal.

The Rays are targeting Adam Dunn if Bay is dealt to someone else. Stark:

The Reds and Rays talked Wednesday night about a deal that would send Adam Dunn to Tampa Bay. According to a source with knowledge of the discussions, those talks haven't yet moved beyond the conversation stage. But that conversation is expected to resume Thursday morning.

This would be interesting. A good hitter who would be a huge improvement at DH and will likely net the Rays 2 picks at years end.

 UPDATE (UPDATE): Rays have traded have not traded for Jason Bay. MLB.com was wrong

With the three-way deal between the Pirates, Red Sox, and Marlins falling through, an MLB.com source says that the Rays are going to acquire right-handed hitting outfielder Jason Bay for Minor League prospects including shortstop Reid Brignac and right-hander Jeff Niemann. The Rays have not confirmed the deal.

Rosenthal:

The Rays' pursuit of Pirates outfielder Jason Bay is off "unless a miracle happens," according to a source close to the negotiations.

FINAL UPDATE: Manny has been traded to the Dodger in a 3-way trade. ESPN

A baseball source has confirmed Ramirez has been traded to the Dodgers, ESPN.com has learned.

Jason Bay is going to Boston as part of the deal, SI.com reported. And the Pirates get four minor leaguers as part of the three-way deal.

Yes I know it's early but I live on the East Coast and we all know about the trade deadline.
