Springfield native and former Miami University outfielder Adam Eaton has been traded by the Chicago White Sox to the Washington Nationals, pending a physical, according to multiple reports Wednesday.

Eaton, 28, played center field for most of his career but moved to right field last season and was a finalist for the Gold Glove.

According to reports, the White Sox acquired three players for Eaton.
