Rays/Reds make All-Star beak deal

[VolsRaysBucs]

:TB: sends
OF Scott Hairston 0.5M (2012)
CI Josh Vitters 0.5M (p-n/a)
C Luke Bailey 0.5M (p-n/a)

:CIN: sends
SP Alex Cobb 0.5M (p-2014)

Tampa Bay is happy to make this move as we add another young, cheap arm who should be in rotation full-time by 2013.  We move two solid specs that are from a position of depth for us, so that makes the deal very palatable.  Cincy restocks the farm and adds a very valuable bat for the playoff push in 2012.  Glad we were finally able to get one done DW, good talks  :toast:
Cincinnati to confirm at their convenience.
