No other Reds moves Thursday
Only one deal was made by the Reds before Thursday's non-waivers Trade Deadline but it was a doozy. Ken Griffey Jr. went to the White Sox but none of Cincinnati's 12 other potential free agents were moved.
Reds GM Walt Jocketty said some offers were made near the end of the deadline but he chose not to agree to them.
"We talked to different clubs about different proposals but never felt there was one that really benefitted us," Jocketty said. "We're better off holding on to the players we had and try to win as many games as we can."
The Reds outfield will now have Adam Dunn in left field, Jerry Hairston Jr. in center field and Jay Bruce in right field.

I guess is Ken Griffey jr. isn't protected from being saved no one is.
I would have loved for the Red Sox to pick him up.

I really don't think that was a smart trade for the Sox. He's a big name, and a decent player at best right now, but that big name means they'll be obligated to play him from here on out. Could end up hurting them if he doesn't start hitting over .250 at least.
