Griffey's Stay With Sox Appears To Be Over

"The White Sox will maintain their practice of not announcing decisions on their potential free agents with team options until after the World Series. But one anticipated decision apparently has been made. It's believed the Sox won't include Ken Griffey Jr. in their off-season plans, although Griffey could be considered later in a lesser role, especially if he recovers from left knee surgery performed Oct. 14. After Tampa Bay eliminated the Sox on Oct. 6, Chairman Jerry Reinsdorf thanked Griffey for his contributions and professionalism to the team.

No shocker... When the trade was made with the Reds for Griffey, I knew this would be a two month rental for the Sox anyway.

 

He'll be a solid DH somewhere.
Man, if dude wouldnt have gotten hurt all those years....best player ever.

 

Instead of being at 611 career home runs, he would have hit more then 762 home runs.

 

I hope the Mets aquire him :icon_cheesygrin: His time is over... He WAS gr8

 

Griffey is appearlenty open to a return to the Mariners.

 

Why would he want to go there. One of the worst teams in the league easily and its not like their getting any younger. I guess he would be a decent replacement if Ichiro ever gets traded or waived.
