Warren2ThaG Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 http://omgreds.com/uploaded_images/garrett_atkins-770439.jpgReds don't appear to be interested in Rockies' AtkinsThe Colorado Rockies called the Cincinnati Reds this week to see if they might be interested in Garrett Atkins(notes). According to the Cincinnati Enquirer, it appears the Reds are not. According to the Enquirer, tey aren't for two reasons: a) Atkins is owed $3.4 million for the rest of the year; http://www.otrbasketball.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/default/cool.gif he plays first or third. The Reds might added salary for the right guy, like they were with Mark DeRosa(notes). But Atkins is hitting .226 with six homers and 25 RBI and isn't as versatile at DeRosa. Atkins is also a free agent after the season, the Enquirer reported. The Reds have enough depth in the bullpen to move a reliever. But the chances of trading Nick Masset(notes) are about zero. ---http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
