Casey comes at a cost of only $8.5 million for 2006, the final year of his contract, and the Reds will send cash to the Pirates to cover some of that obligation. Casey also brings the kind of attitude and character that will certainly help in a Pirates clubhouse that could have used more of those qualities in recent years.

A three-time All-Star, Casey has a .305 career batting average with 118 home runs and 605 RBIs in nine seasons, including eight with Cincinnati. Pirates fans know him all too well. In 29 games at PNC Park, Casey has batted .355 with five home runs and 24 RBIs.

I believe there is a thread on this already...

I figured there already was, but the trade was just finalized today.
