Reds confirm. I have grown tired of Volquez's inconsistencies all year. His high era and whip are killing me. The Ks are great but come at a price. I like Gordon's upside and also the upside in Nelson. Good negotiations with Rayne. Deal specs should read like this :
Edinson Volquez , CIN : 2011 - .445M PP(3/5) Cesar Hernandez , PHI : 2011 - .5M PP(0/5) Matt Maloney , CIN : 2011 - .4M PP(1/5)
for
Alex Gordon , KC : 2011 - 1.4MPP(3/5) Chris Nelson , COL : 2011 - .3M PP(0/5)

Sorry forgot to put the reason behind the trade...I do this deal because I think volquez has the potential to be the top of the rotation starter I need and I don't fully believe in gordon ...chris nelson is good but nowhere for him to play
Good workin with reds long back and forth negotiations
