Dye to Reds for Bailey done?

Dayton Daily News reporting the White Sox have agreed to trade Jermaine Dye to the Reds for Homer Bailey. Bailey was recently the Reds top pitching prospect.

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.”

The Reds are in the market for an outfielder and moving Bailey makes sense. The 22-year-old righthander, the team’s No. 1 draft pick in 2004, has not lived up to high expectations and some club officials believe a change of venue would be best for him.

Bailey was 0-6 with a 7.93 ERA in eight starts with the Reds last year and was only 4-7 with a 4.77 ERA at Class AAA Louisville.

He won only one game at Louisville after April and that was in September.
