Griffey Wants Out?

They will move Dunn before Griffey.

Yep, he has more trade value at this point in their careers.

They will move Dunn before Griffey.

 

What makes you think that 98?

[UKMustangFan]

He does not have a no trade clause in his contract. He is 10/5 guy. 10 years of service, 5 with the same team. That's part of the CBA.

 

 

It still gives him the right to veto any trade....It's basically the same thing.

If they packaged Bailey and Griffey in a trade I am pretty sure you would find bigger crowds at a local t ball game...

[Black Ant]

I'd give away Josh Hamilton for a bag of baseballs before I'd trade Homer Bailey for anything.

 

 

Right, but Hamiliton smoked crack so I think you missed the joke.

[Black Ant]

No way is Jay Bruce in the MLB in 2008. At least not before September.

 

 

If Griffey and Dunn are gone?

Guilty as charged...good call. :thumb:

That screams get fans here and not get better....

Nope. He just got to "AA" yesterday....literally.

I'm not saying it's right.

I think it will be much harder to move Griff and his contract at what, 38? Than it will be to move 27 YO Dunn. Griff has deferred money and no team out there is going to trade for a 38 year old injury prone outfielder who they will then have to pay for the next 10 years.

A lot of good talent comes up from AA.

So you're saying that they'll "be forced" to move Dunn before Griffey? That right? That could well be true.

 

For the record, I still think Junior is the one that ends up getting traded, and not Dunn. They will not trade both...they still have to score some runs in that band-box because goodness knows the opposition will.

 

Having the NL's leading run-scoring outfielder can be an asset in that building. :sssh:

That's not how Junior's deal works...

Thanks. Maybe, and I'm just spit-balling here, but perhaps they'll want him to spend a little time seeing some "AAA" pitching next year.

 

If he is on the Reds in April (or May or June) of 2008 I'll heartily accept a rousing dish of "I told you so."
