Brian Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 His kind of town? Aug 4 - The White Sox are still in hot pursuit of the Reds' Ken Griffey Jr., the Chicago Sun-Times reports. Chicago reportedly had been trying to land the 35-year-old center fielder before the non-waiver deadline. According to The Chicago Tribune, Griffey is owed $12.5 million each year through 2008. The Reds hold a $16.5 million option or $4 million buyout for 2009. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did Offman mean that a trade was in the works as in a few weeks ago before the deadline, or was in the works as in right now? It seems that everyone thinks you mean it's going on right now.

Nyx81 Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 Is there still actually a possibility he might end up here? I have read some conflicting post saying the KGJ would approve a move to Chicago and then some that KGJ would rather stay close to home.

Then after 3 buisness days the team lowest in the standing gets the player or trades for the player or the team pulls him off them. Its not offered team by team.

I should have put "the trade" was in the works, before the deadline. Didn't say the Sox were still pursuing Griffey Edited August 8, 2005 by beck72 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AddisonStSox Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ Aug 7, 2005 -> 05:54 PM) That's probably debatable Debatable in that he was rumored to be in the deal, or debatable in that he's not considered the one of the top prospects in the organization?
