Tim Redding is a major-league baseball player. He grew up in Rochester, NY and was a fan of the New York Yankees as a child. He was drafted by the Houston Astros, but a poor pitching performance in 2004 caused his trade to the San Diego Padres. He would go 0‑5 with a 9.31 ERA with the Padres in 2005 until being traded to the New York Yankees. However, his stint with the Yankees would be short lived, since in his one inning in a start against the Boston Red Sox he allowed six earned runs, and by the next day, he was designated for assignment to allow a spot for pitcher Al Leiter.
Redding signed a minor league contract with the Chicago White Sox in 2006 and was assigned to their AAA affiliate, the Charlotte Knights. He became a key component of the Knights' pitching rotation, finishing the 2006 season with a 12-10 record and 3.40 ERA in 29 appearances. He led the team in strikeouts (148) and complete games (5). On September 6, 2006, Redding pitched a four-hit shutout against the Toledo Mudhens in the International League playoffs. On November 7, 2006 Redding was signed to a minor-league deal by the Washington Nationals.
