A noteworthy one involving the Cincinnati Reds is making the rounds — pitcher Homer Bailey for Chicago White Sox outfielder Jermaine Dye.
A major-league source close to the situation told The Dayton Daily News on Sunday, Dec. 7, "The deal is done and will be announced this week."<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Two years ago Bailey was the top pitching prospect in all of baseball. I've seen him several times here in Louisville and he throws in the high 90s consistently. He has control problems and is supposed to be a jerk-off. He has a reputation of not working hard as well.
This trade would help the Reds instantly. I really thought they underachieved last year. They have a ton of young talent and by adding a good veteran player might make a big difference.

That rumor has been shot down by several sources on both sides.
