Athletics acquired outfielder Chris Denorfia from the Reds for two players to be named and cash.

Denorfia, 26, will miss the rest of 2007 following Tommy John surgery, but he should come in real handy in 2008 as a fourth outfielder. The right-handed hitter had lines of .317/.391/.526 and .349/.409/.484 in the minors the last two years. He can play an adequate center field and he's above average in the corners. The Reds thought they didn't need him following Josh Hamilton's emergence.

Sure sounds like a guy we might could have been in on talks about.  I guess we'll have to see the caliber of the two players, but like the sound of this guy.
