    Will Griffey be dealt?

    Being a long time Reds fan, but an even longer Griffey, Jr. fan, I really hope Jr isn't traded. Playing healthy for the first time in a long time, he is really looking good this year. Hopefully the Reds wise up and don't deal him.

    Have you all heard anything?

    I am hoping he gets out of that dreadful craphole and goes to a real contender. He deserves some jewelery!

        True, and while I would love to see him get some jewelry, I would hate to see him go. He's the only reason that I watch baseball, and especially Reds baseball. But with Freel coming back, and a few bats starting to come alive, I really hope management holds on to him.

          I doubt anyone wants to take on his contract, especially with all his injury problems.

            Unless the Reds eat 3/4 of his contract... which they won't... he'll be staying put most likely.

              Ahh, Jr.

              What could of been.

              I don't think he will be dealt, but I would like to see him play for a contender.

                I think Reds will try and move Griffey but in the end it's most likely he stays in Cincinnati. His contract makes it hard to move him and he has a no-trade clause which will make it more difficult to move him (and he has said in the past he has no interest in playing in New York). It will be easier for the Reds to try and trade him over the winter than it would be right now, so ithink he stays put for the rest of the season.

                  I know the odds are slim to none, but I'd love to see Jr. come back to the Seattle Mariners. I don't see that happening anytime soon, but a guy can dream.

                    Re: Will Griffey be dealt?

                    The STL Post Dispatch keeps making comments about how he'd look good in the NEW Busch Stadium's right field "if the dollars could be worked out" and they've mentioned it a few times.

                    I guess they're hoping Jocketty will go after him next year, or eat his salary this year until Walker comes off the books (since he makes a nice lil' chunk of change himself).

                        The Yankees looked at Seattle's Randy Winn, Texas' Gary Matthews Jr. and Colorado's Eric Byrnes. Also, Michael Kay reported on his ESPN Radio show that the Yankees called the Reds about Ken Griffey Jr., but were told he wasn't available.
                        One AL executive said the reason the Reds are not putting Adam Dunn or Austin Kearns on the trade market is because the team may be sold and that decision should be left to the next administration.

                          What a difference 5 years makes. I remember when Griffey signed his contract with the Reds after he was traded and everybody commented on how affordable it was (he gave them the home town discount). Economics have changed a great bit since that "affordable" contract makes him untradable in today's market.
                          Overall satisfaction also makes the decline!!!!!!!!!!!!

                              Any team would be insane to do so. Not to mention that not many teams are going to be able to give Cincy what they want in return.

                              Griffey's not going anywhere..
