Cubs and Pirates traded players in 2003 that helped them reach the postseason. It happens. Ugh. I can't believe my memory failed me that way. I'll just find a nearby hole and jump in. 8-[ No, you're right, it's rare but I wouldn't think that it's out of the question if both sides can agree. The Reds, like the Pirates, may be willing to take a longer view on their plans to compete. As a result, they may be willing to add another young starter (and other young players) to pitch alongside Homer Bailey. In the long run, they would be better off, if the players develop, because Griffey doesn't have too many productive years left (at least not in the NL).
