There have been rumors online that Seattle has sent scouts to Reds games. Could Griffey be going back to where it all started?
Why not bring Griffey to DC? The Nats haven't had a star like Griffey since Soriano left in free agency. Having a player like Griffey in center field would move Lastings to LF and create more depth in the OF. It would also provide Zimmerman and Johnson more protection in the line-up. Holding onto Lastings and Zimmerman would be key, so who would the Nats need to give up besides a couple of prospects?

If I were Dan LeBatard playing Oddsmakers on PTI I would say that the odds of Griffey going to DC are less than zero percent.
And you would be "The Hateable" Dan LeBatard. I'm a Nationals fan and I agree, no chance he's coming and why would we want him? He's an expensive old player who's return on investment gap will grow larger and larger in the negative. He's better suited at this time in the AL where a team can play him at DH at times.
