San Francisco, CA (My Sportsbook) - The San Francisco Giants have reportedly traded second baseman Ray Durham and reliever Jack Taschner to the Milwaukee Brewers for Single-A outfield prospect Darren Ford and Triple-A left-hander Steve Hammond.

Several sources including newspapers in both cities are reporting that Durham, who has the right to negate the deal with his 10-plus years of MLB service, would give the go-ahead for the deal to be finalized following Sunday's series finale between the two clubs in San Francisco. Durham, who is in the final season of a two-year $14.5 million contract, sat out the first two games between the two teams with what the Giants said was the flu.

The 36-year-old is hitting .293 with 43 runs scored and 32 runs batted in for San Francisco in this his sixth season with the club. The veteran infielder is in the midst of his 14th season having posted a career average of .277 with the White Sox, Athletics and Giants. Durham would likely fall into a platoon situation with Milwaukee's Rickie Weeks, who is hitting a disappointing .218 this season with a .322 on-base percentage.

Taschner, 30, has spent the length of his career with the Giants in this his fourth season, sporting a 7-3 career record and 4.58 earned run average in 157 relief appearances. Taschner is 2-1 this season with a 3.21 ERA in 46 games.

Ford, renowned for his speed on the basepaths, was selected by the Brewers in the 18th round of the 2004 First-Year Player Draft and was named to the Class A Advanced Florida State League All-Star squad this season. He also was named a South Atlantic League All-Star in 2007. The 22-year-old is carrying a .230 average this season with 48 steals in 91 games for the Brevard County Manatees.

Hammond, 26, was selected as a sixth-round choice of Milwaukee in 2005. The lefty posted a 7-4 record and a 3.45 ERA over 15 starts for Double-A Huntsville of the Southern League this season before moving to Triple-A Nashville of the Pacific Coast League, where he stands with a 0-4 mark and a 7.41 ERA over four starts.
